DESCRIPTION
       Create  an  HTML	 view  of coverage data	found in tracefile.  Note that
       tracefile may also be a list of filenames.

       HTML output files are created in	the current working  directory	unless
       the --output-directory option is	used. If tracefile ends	with ".gz", it
       is  assumed  to	be GZIP-compressed and the gunzip tool will be used to
       decompress it transparently.

       Note that all source code files have to be present and readable at  the
       exact file system location they were compiled.

       Use option --css-file to	modify layout and colors of the	generated HTML
       output.	Files  are marked in different colors depending	on the associ-
       ated coverage rate. By default, the coverage limits for low, medium and
       high coverage are set to	0-75%,	75-90%	and  90-100%  percent  respec-
       tively.	To  change  these  values, use configuration file options gen-
       html_hi_limit and genhtml_med_limit.

       Also note that when  displaying	percentages,  0%  and  100%  are  only
       printed	when  the  values  are exactly 0% and 100% respectively. Other
       values which would conventionally be rounded to 0% or 100% are  instead
       printed	as  nearest non-boundary value.	This behavior is in accordance
       with that of the	gcov(1)	tool.

OPTIONS
       -h
       --help
	      Print a short help text, then exit.

       -v
       --version
	      Print version number, then exit.

       -q
       --quiet
	      Do not print progress messages.

	      Suppresses all informational progress output. When  this	switch
	      is enabled, only error or	warning	messages are printed.

       -f
       --frames
	      Use HTML frames for source code view.

	      If  enabled,  a  frameset	 is created for	each source code file,
	      providing	an overview of the source code as a "clickable"	image.
	      Note that	this option will slow down output creation  noticeably
	      because  each  source  code  character has to be inspected once.
	      Note also	that the GD.pm Perl module has	to  be	installed  for
	      this    option	to    work    (it   may	  be   obtained	  from
	      http://www.cpan.org).

       -s
       --show-details
	      Generate detailed	directory view.

	      When this	option is enabled, genhtml generates two  versions  of
	      each  file  view.	One containing the standard information	plus a
	      link to a	"detailed" version. The	latter	additionally  contains
	      information about	which test case	covered	how many lines of each
	      source file.

       -b baseline-file
       --baseline-file baseline-file
	      Use data in baseline-file	as coverage baseline.

	      The  tracefile specified by baseline-file	is read	and all	counts
	      found in the original tracefile are decremented  by  the	corre-
	      sponding counts in baseline-file before creating any output.

	      Note that	when a count for a particular line in baseline-file is
	      greater than the count in	the tracefile, the result is zero.

       -o output-directory
       --output-directory output-directory
	      Create files in output-directory.

	      Use  this	option to tell genhtml to write	the resulting files to
	      a	directory other	than the current one. If output-directory does
	      not exist, it will be created.

	      It is advisable to  use  this  option  since  depending  on  the
	      project size, a lot of files and subdirectories may be created.

       -t title
       --title title
	      Display title in header of all pages.

	      title  is	 written  to the header	portion	of each	generated HTML
	      page to identify the context in which a  particular  output  was
	      created. By default this is the name of the tracefile.

       -d description-file
       --description-file description-file
	      Read test	case descriptions from description-file.

	      All  test	case descriptions found	in description-file and	refer-
	      enced in the input data file are read and	written	 to  an	 extra
	      page which is then incorporated into the HTML output.

	      The file format of description-file is:

	      for each test case:
		     TN:<testname>
		     TD:<test description>

	      Valid  test  case	 names can consist of letters, numbers and the
	      underscore character ('_').
       -k
       --keep-descriptions
	      Do not remove unused test	descriptions.

	      Keep descriptions	found in the description file even if the cov-
	      erage data indicates that	the associated test case did not cover
	      any lines	of code.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_keep_descriptions.

       -c css-file
       --css-file css-file
	      Use external style sheet file css-file.

	      Using this option, an extra .css file  may  be  specified	 which
	      will replace the default one. This may be	helpful	if the default
	      colors make your eyes want to jump out of	their sockets :)

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_css_file.

       -p prefix
       --prefix	prefix
	      Remove prefix from all directory names.

	      Because  lists  containing long filenames	are difficult to read,
	      there is a mechanism implemented that will automatically try  to
	      shorten  all directory names on the overview page	beginning with
	      a	common prefix. By default, this	is  done  using	 an  algorithm
	      that tries to find the prefix which, when	applied, will minimize
	      the resulting sum	of characters of all directory names.

	      Use this option to specify the prefix to be removed by yourself.

       --no-prefix
	      Do not remove prefix from	directory names.

	      This  switch  will  completely  disable the prefix mechanism de-
	      scribed in the previous section.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_no_prefix.

       --no-source
	      Do not create source code	view.

	      Use this switch if you don't want	to get a source	code view  for
	      each file.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_no_source.

       --num-spaces spaces
	      Replace tabs in source view with num spaces.

	      Default value is 8.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_num_spaces.

       --highlight
	      Highlight	lines with converted-only coverage data.

	      Use this option in conjunction with the --diff option of lcov to
	      highlight	those lines which were only covered in data sets which
	      were converted from previous source code versions.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_highlight.

       --legend
	      Include color legend in HTML output.

	      Use  this	 option	 to include a legend explaining	the meaning of
	      color coding in the resulting HTML output.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_legend.

       --html-prolog prolog-file
	      Read customized HTML prolog from prolog-file.

	      Use this option to replace the default HTML prolog (the  initial
	      part  of	the  HTML  source code leading up to and including the
	      <body> tag) with the contents of prolog-file.  Within the	prolog
	      text, the	following words	will be	replaced when a	page is	gener-
	      ated:

	      @pagetitle@
	      The title	of the page.

	      @basedir@
	      A	relative path leading to the base directory (e.g. for locating
	      css-files).

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_html_prolog.

       --html-epilog epilog-file
	      Read customized HTML epilog from epilog-file.

	      Use this option to replace the default HTML  epilog  (the	 final
	      part  of the HTML	source including </body>) with the contents of
	      epilog-file.

	      Within the epilog	text, the following  words  will  be  replaced
	      when a page is generated:

	      @basedir@
	      A	relative path leading to the base directory (e.g. for locating
	      css-files).

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_html_epilog.

       --html-extension	extension
	      Use customized filename extension	for generated HTML pages.

	      This option is useful in situations where	different filename ex-
	      tensions	are  required  to render the resulting pages correctly
	      (e.g. php). Note that a '.' will be inserted between  the	 file-
	      name and the extension specified by this option.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_html_extension.

       --html-gzip
	      Compress	all generated html files with gzip and add a .htaccess
	      file specifying gzip-encoding in the root	output directory.

	      Use this option if you want to save space	on your	webserver. Re-
	      quires a webserver with .htaccess	support	 and  a	 browser  with
	      support for gzip compressed html.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_html_gzip.

       --sort
       --no-sort
	      Specify  whether	to  include sorted views of file and directory
	      overviews.

	      Use --sort to include sorted views or --no-sort to  not  include
	      them.  Sorted views are enabled by default.

	      When  sorted  views are enabled, each overview page will contain
	      links to views of	that page sorted by coverage rate.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_sort.

       --function-coverage
       --no-function-coverage
	      Specify whether to display function coverage summaries  in  HTML
	      output.

	      Use --function-coverage to enable	function coverage summaries or
	      --no-function-coverage  to  disable  it.	Function coverage sum-
	      maries are enabled by default

	      When function coverage summaries are enabled, each overview page
	      will contain the number of functions found and hit per  file  or
	      directory,  together  with the resulting coverage	rate. In addi-
	      tion, each source	code view will contain a link to a page	 which
	      lists  all functions found in that file plus the respective call
	      count for	those functions.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_function_coverage.

       --branch-coverage
       --no-branch-coverage
	      Specify whether to display branch	coverage data in HTML output.

	      Use --branch-coverage  to	 enable	 branch	 coverage  display  or
	      --no-branch-coverage to disable it. Branch coverage data display
	      is enabled by default

	      When branch coverage display is enabled, each overview page will
	      contain  the number of branches found and	hit per	file or	direc-
	      tory, together with the resulting	coverage  rate.	 In  addition,
	      each  source  code view will contain an extra column which lists
	      all branches of a	line with indications of  whether  the	branch
	      was taken	or not.	Branches are shown in the following format:

	       ' + ': Branch was taken at least	once
	       ' - ': Branch was not taken
	       ' # ': The basic	block containing the branch was	never executed

	      Note  that it might not always be	possible to relate branches to
	      the corresponding	source code  statements:  during  compilation,
	      GCC  might  shuffle branches around or eliminate some of them to
	      generate better code.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_branch_coverage.

       --demangle-cpp
	      Specify whether to demangle C++ function names.

	      Use this option if you want to  convert  C++  internal  function
	      names  to	human readable format for display on the HTML function
	      overview page.  This option requires that	the  c++filt  tool  is
	      installed	(see c++filt(1)).

       --ignore-errors errors
	      Specify a	list of	errors after which to continue processing.

	      Use  this	option to specify a list of one	or more	classes	of er-
	      rors after which geninfo should continue processing  instead  of
	      aborting.

	      errors can be a comma-separated list of the following keywords:

	      source: the source code file for a data set could	not be found.

       --config-file config-file
	      Specify a	configuration file to use.

	      When  this option	is specified, neither the system-wide configu-
	      ration file /etc/lcovrc, nor  the	 per-user  configuration  file
	      ~/.lcovrc	is read.

	      This  option  may	 be useful when	there is a need	to run several
	      instances	of genhtml with	different configuration	 file  options
	      in parallel.

       --rc keyword=value
	      Override a configuration directive.

	      Use this option to specify a keyword=value statement which over-
	      rides  the  corresponding	 configuration statement in the	lcovrc
	      configuration file. You can specify this option more  than  once
	      to  override  multiple  configuration statements.	 See lcovrc(5)
	      for a list of available keywords and their meaning.

       --precision num
	      Show coverage rates with num number of digits after the decimal-
	      point.

	      Default value is 1.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_precision.

       --missed
	      Show counts of missed lines, functions, or branches

	      Use this option to change	overview pages to show	the  count  of
	      lines,  functions,  or  branches that were not hit. These	counts
	      are represented by negative numbers.

	      When specified together with --sort, file	 and  directory	 views
	      will be sorted by	missed counts.

	      This option can also be configured permanently using the config-
	      uration file option genhtml_missed.

FILES
       /etc/lcovrc
	      The system-wide configuration file.

       ~/.lcovrc
	      The per-user configuration file.
