🌸 hey bestie, welcome to afl-whatsup (8) 🌸

okay so real talk — this is the System Manager's Manual page for afl-whatsup, and yes it's section 8, we're in the sysadmin part of the library, very grown-up of us 💅. i'm gonna walk you through the whole thing, no skips, no "you can read the rest later" — every flag, every email address, every license clause, all of it. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

afl-whatsup — that's the name, that's the girl. one hyphenated word, all lowercase, absolutely iconic for no reason 🎀.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the invocation, and i'm quoting it exactly because she is particular:

Usage: ./afl-whatsup [-s] [-d] afl_output_directory

so it's the program name, then optionally -s, optionally -d, and then an afl_output_directory — a directory, bestie, not a file, don't come crying to me when you point it at the wrong path 😭.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

four flags. that's it. short and slay:

  • -d — include dead fuzzer stats. yep, the fuzzers that are no longer with us get to appear in the report too 🪦 lowkey respectful of them.
  • -m — just show minimal stats. the "i don't have time for your paragraphs" girlie mode ✨.
  • -n — no color output. for when you're piping it somewhere or your terminal is having a moment, plain text only, no rainbows 🌈🚫.
  • -s — skip details and output summary results only. straight to the plot, no filler episodes 👑.
ngl the flags are tiny but like — they change the whole vibe of your output. pick consciously 💀
