💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

🌈 OVERVIEW: Sanitizer Coverage Processing Tool (sancov)

Okay so, real talk: this tool can extract all kinds of coverage-related info from three different things — coverage-instrumented binary files, raw .sancov files, and their symbolized .symcov version. 🦋

And depending on which action you pick, the tool expects different input files. No cap:

• -print-coverage-pcs — wants coverage-instrumented binary files
• -print-coverage — wants .sancov files
• <other actions> — wants .sancov files & the corresponding binary files, plus .symcov files

---
