Package: gcovr
Version: 5.2-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Package gcovr (v. 5.2-1 on bullseye) does not install man pages for gcov,
gcov-dump, and gcov-tool. The --help output is far too terse to understand
what the differences between these three tools are. Also, a man page exists
for some version of gcov (q.v. https://linux.die.net/man/1/gcov ).

Hello,
gcov, gcov-dump and gcov-tool come from gcc, not gcovr. Their man pages
are in the non-free gcc-N-doc packages (GFDL), e.g. gcc-14-doc.
See also https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html
Closing, as nothing can be done in gcovr.
Sylvestre
