# Gcovinator
gcovinator is a command-line tool that can generate HTML reports showing the
line and branch coverage information for a source file. It is implemented as
a Ruby gem and requires Ruby to be installed to execute.
## Installation
With root access or something like rvm:
$ gem install gcovinator
Or as an unprivileged user without something like rvm:
$ gem install --user gcovinator
(in this case make sure the path to /bin under your ~/.gem directory is in your $PATH)
## Usage
Usage: gcovinator [options] [FILES]
Pass paths to .gcda files as FILES.
If no FILES are specified, gcovinator looks for all .gcda files recursively under the build directory.
Options:
-b, --build-dir BUILDDIR Specify the build directory. Source file paths in object/gcov files will be relative to this directory. Defaults to '.' if not specified.
-o, --output-dir OUTPUTDIR Specify output directory. HTML reports will be written to this directory. Defaults to 'coverage' if not specified.
-p, --prefix PREFIX Prefix path to strip from source file paths. Defaults to '.' if not specified.
-s, --source-dir SRCDIR Specify a source directory. Reports will only be generated for sources under a specified source directory. Multiple source directories may be specified. Defaults to '.' if not specified.
-h, --help Show this help.
--version Show version
### Example
If you store your source code under `src` and build from the `build`
directory, then execute:
$ gcovinator -b build -s src
