Based on shcov by Simon Kågström. See it either as a fork or a collection of patches, time will decide what it is.

Wrapper less reports

By using the included bash script as BASH_ENV the need to use shcov as a wrapper is removed. This is also faster and makes for seamless nesting of shell scripts.

The use case that it was developed for was to get full coverage report of a complete system from boot to shutdown.

Example use:

export BASH_ENV=/usr/share/shcov/bash_coverage
./script
./script3
./script --arguments
...
shenvcov --data=/tmp/sh.coverage.bash --output=/tmp/cov.data
shlcov /tmp/cov.data $HOME/public_html/coverage.report

If shenvcov is rerun with the same arguments it'll append any new data it finds in the data directory to the output directory.

WARNING: it will not try and make sure the coverage files are completed and will delete them after they've been parsed.

Not so noteworthy changes but documented anyway

• Remove dead variables and imports
• Follow the sane portions of PEP8
• No redefining of built-ins
