sancov — manual page for sancov 20 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

OVERVIEW: Sanitizer Coverage Processing Tool (sancov) ✨

This tool can extract various coverage-related information from: coverage-instrumented binary files, raw .sancov files and their symbolized .symcov version. so many formats, so little time 💖

Depending on which action you choose, the tool expects different input files, and this is the part where you have to pay attention bestie, because the vibes differ per action:

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

USAGE:

sancov [options] <action> <binary files...> <.sancov files...> <.symcov files...>

no cap, that's the whole shape of it 🫶
