.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to extract the basic-block profiling buffers of the running
|
|
kernel into the files needed for the
|
|
.Xr gcov 1
|
|
tool.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least one source file in the running kernel must have been compiled
|
|
with the
|
|
.Fl Fl test-coverage
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl Fl profile-arcs
|
|
options.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output is stored in the filenames compiled into the kernel by
|
|
.Xr gcc 1 .
|
|
If the absolute pathname cannot be written to, the directory part
|
|
of the filename is discarded and the file stored in the current
|
|
directory under its basename.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output files are named
|
|
.Pa *.da ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Xr gcov 1
|
|
program will extract the counts and merge them with the source
|
|
file to show actual execution counts.

The

|
|
utility was written by

along with the kernel-support.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
There are far too much magic and internal knowledge from GCC in this.
