     1.4 +LCOV is an extension of GCOV, a GNU tool which provides information about
     1.5 +what parts of a program are actually executed (i.e. "covered") while running
     1.6 +a particular test case. The extension consists of a set of Perl scripts
     1.7 +which build on the textual GCOV output to implement the following enhanced
     1.8 +functionality:
     1.9 +
    1.10 +* HTML based output: coverage rates are additionally indicated using bar
    1.11 +  graphs and specific colors.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +* Support for large projects: overview pages allow quick browsing of
    1.14 +  coverage data by providing three levels of detail: directory view,
    1.15 +  file view and source code view.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +LCOV was initially designed to support Linux kernel coverage measurements,
    1.18 +but works as well for coverage measurements on standard user space
    1.19 +applications.
