coverage report

The coverage report command is used to produce a textual output of the coverage

statistics that have been gathered up to this point. (The View > Other > Source

Coverage menu pick allows you to view this data more interactively.)

Syntax

coverage report

[ -file <filename> ] [ -lines ]

Arguments

-file <filename>

Specifies a file name for the report. Optional. Default is to write report to the Transcript

Window.

-lines

Specifies whether to report coverage information for individual lines as well as

summarizing on a per file basis. Optional. Default is to only summarize by files.

If you are intending to use the coverage reload command, you should specify this

switch.

The report is given in tabular format. For each source file that had design elements

simulated, a summary consisting of file name, number of executable lines, number

of lines that were actually executed and a percentage of coverage are given.

If the -lines switch is specified then following each file summary line is a list of

executable lines in that file, along with how many times that line was executed.
