What is the purpose of the coverage option "srcpath"?

In my scenario I have a folder "dependencies" and a folder "source". I want to generate
code coverage only for the files in folder "source".

dmd -unittest -cov source/app.d dependencies/dep.d
app.exe --DRT-covopt="srcpath:./source dstpath:./cov"

By specifying "srcpath" there are 2 empty files created in folder cov:
source-app.lst
dependencies-dep.lst

I thought by specifying "srcpath" I limit the code coverage generation to the files located in folder source...

From what I saw in the code, I think what it does is just override where the code was actually placed when you compiled, so tools to visualize the coverage can show you the source code.

BTW, to just report coverage of certain files you can just compile with `-cov` those files. I guess that should work (maybe? :).
