+    The PostgreSQL source code can be compiled with coverage testing
+    instrumentation, so that it becomes possible to examine which
+    parts of the code are covered by the regression tests or any other
+    test suite that is run with the code.  This is currently supported
+    when compiling with GCC, and it requires the <code class="command">gcov</code>
+    and <code class="command">lcov</code> programs.
+   </p><p>
+    A typical workflow looks like this:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+./configure --enable-coverage ... OTHER OPTIONS ...
+make
+make check # or other test suite
+make coverage-html
+</pre><p>
+    Then point your HTML browser
+    to <code class="filename">coverage/index.html</code>.
+   </p><p>
+    If you don't have <code class="command">lcov</code> or prefer text output over an
+    HTML report, you can run
+</p><pre class="screen">
+make coverage
+</pre><p>
+    instead of <code class="literal">make coverage-html</code>, which will
+    produce <code class="filename">.gcov</code> output files for each source file
+    relevant to the test.  (<code class="literal">make coverage</code> and <code class="literal">make
+    coverage-html</code> will overwrite each other's files, so mixing them
+    might be confusing.)
+   </p><p>
+    You can run several different tests before making the coverage report;
+    the execution counts will accumulate.  If you want
+    to reset the execution counts between test runs, run:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+make coverage-clean
+</pre><p>
+   </p><p>
+    You can run the <code class="literal">make coverage-html</code> or <code class="literal">make
+    coverage</code> command in a subdirectory if you want a coverage
+    report for only a portion of the code tree.
+   </p><p>
+    Use <code class="literal">make distclean</code> to clean up when done.
