Can it obtain code coverage information in real time without ending the program?

Hi!

Yes, to some extent. You can supply the --output-interval=MS to specify the write interval in milliseconds. It by default outputs every 5 seconds, and the write operation is somewhat heavy, so it's not advisable to do it too often.
