# afl-plot(8)

## NAME

**afl-plot**

## SYNOPSIS

afl-plot \[ -g \| --graphical \] afl\_state\_dir \[afl\_state\_dir2 ...\] graph\_output\_dir

## OPTIONS

```
This program generates gnuplot images from afl-fuzz output data.
Usage:
    afl_state_dir       should point to an existing state directory for any
                        active or stopped instance of afl-fuzz; multiple
                        directories can be specified to overlay their data
                        on the same plots (e.g. comparing parallel fuzzers)
    graph_output_dir    should point to an empty directory where this
                        tool can write the resulting plots to
    -g, --graphical     (optional) display the plots in a graphical window
                        (you should have built afl-plot-ui to use this option)
The program will put index.html and four PNG images in the output directory;
you should be able to view it with any web browser of your choice.
