-# The function will run gcov on the .gcda files in a binary tree and then

-# contains the source and build directories for CDash to use in parsing
-# the coverage data. In addtion the Labels.json files for targets that

+# This tarball also contains the following:
+#
+# * *data.json* defines the source and build directories for use by CDash.
+# * *Labels.json* indicates any :prop_sf:`LABELS` that have been set on the
