Bugfix: typo in geninfo.1 #312

Closed mnurzia closed 1 month ago

mnurzia commented 1 month ago

This commit fixes a very small typo in geninfo(1).

Noticed this while writing a parser for .info files. The documentation looks perfect otherwise so I figured this warranted the effort of a PR on my part.

lcov is an excellent tool, thank you for putting in the effort to maintain it.

Hi - Thanks for your careful reading, and contribution.

I'm curious what you plan to use your parser for/what applications you have in mind.

I wrote a tool that ensures all tests are being run for an unreleased project. I'm not concerned with line/branch coverage in the test harness, but I do want to make sure that every test function gets called at least once. The tool also generates warning messages that I can then view with my IDE. I plan on releasing this project soon (within the next few weeks) and I'll post the script here. The simple format of .info files made it come together very quickly.
