+// The toolexec program is a helper program for cmd/cover tests.
+// It is used so that the go tool will call the newly built version
+// of the cover program, rather than the installed one.
+//
+// The tests arrange to run the go tool with the argument
+//    -toolexec="/path/to/toolexec /path/to/testcover"
+// The go tool will invoke this program (compiled into /path/to/toolexec)
+// with the arguments shown above followed by the command to run.
+// This program will check whether it is expected to run the cover
+// program, and if so replace it with /path/to/testcover.
