💖 GCOV-DUMP 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the gcov-dump manual page — it lives in the GNU fam, section 1 of the manual pages, and it's lowkey one of those little tools that does exactly one thing and slays at it. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gcov-dump — the offline gcda and gcno profile dump tool, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gcov-dump [-v|--version]
     [-h|--help]
     [-l|--long]
     [-p|--positions]
     [-r|--raw]
     gcovfiles

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gcov-dump is this tool you can use together with GCC to dump the content of gcda and gcno profile files offline. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "let me look inside these files without needing the whole compiler situation running." iconic, honestly.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you help about using gcov-dump, printed to the standard output, and then it dips. no further processing, we're done here 💖
  • -l, --long — dumps the content of records. the long version, as the name suggests 👑
  • -p, --positions — dumps the positions of records 📍
  • -r, --raw — prints content records in raw format. straight up, unfiltered, no makeup 💀
  • -v, --version — shows you the gcov-dump version number on the standard output, and then exits without doing any further processing. bye bestie ✨
