11 | This manual page documents briefly the | |
12 | .BR gcov | |

14 | This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution | |

16 | have a manual page. | |
17 | Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. | |

19 | .B gcov | |
20 | is a test coverage program. Use it in concert with GNU | |
21 | CC to analyze your programs to help create more efficient, faster | |
22 | running code. You can use gcov as a profiling tool to help | |
23 | discover where your optimization efforts will best affect your code. You | |
24 | can also use gcov along with the other profiling tool, | |
25 | .B gprof | |
26 | , to assess which parts of your code use the greatest amount | |
27 | of computing time. | |
28 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
29 | The program is documented fully by | |
30 | .IR "gcc: The GNU C compiler.", | |
31 | available via the Info system. The documentation for genclass can be | |
32 | found in the subsection "Gcov", under "a GNU CC test coverage program". | |
