💖 GCOV-DUMP(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GNU corner of the internet, this is gcov-dump, and it's about to be your new fave little tool 🎀

✨ 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 like. gcov-dump is a tool you can use in conjunction with GCC to dump the content of gcda and gcno profile files, offline. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it reads the files, it shows you what's inside, no compilation happening, just you and the raw data having a lil moment 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — shows you the help for using gcov-dump, printed on the standard output</>, and then it dips. exits without doing any further processing, periodt. ✨
  • -l, --long — dumps the content of records. the long version, the full lore 📖
  • -p, --positions — dumps the positions of records. where things are at, literally 📍
  • -r, --raw — prints content records in raw format. no filter, no makeup, just the raw truth 💀
  • -v, --version — displays the gcov-dump version number on the standard output</>, and then bails. exits without doing any further processing, iconic behavior 👑
