# This tool tries to find the smallest subset of files in the input directory
# that still trigger the full range of instrumentation data points seen in
# the starting corpus. This has two uses:
#
#   - Screening large corpora of input files before using them as a seed for
#     afl-fuzz. The tool will remove functionally redundant files and likely
#     leave you with a much smaller set.
#
#     (In this case, you probably also want to consider running afl-tmin on
#     the individual files later on to reduce their size.)
#
#   - Minimizing the corpus generated organically by afl-fuzz, perhaps when
#     planning to feed it to more resource-intensive tools. The tool achieves
#     this by removing all entries that used to trigger unique behaviors in the
#     past, but have been made obsolete by later finds.
#
# Note that the tool doesn't modify the files themselves. For that, you want
# afl-tmin.
#
# This script must use bash because other shells may have hardcoded limits on
# array sizes.

Usage: $0 [ options ] -- /path/to/target_app [ ... ]

Required parameters:

  -i dir        - input directory with the starting corpus
  -o dir        - output directory for minimized files

Execution control settings:

  -f file       - location read by the fuzzed program (stdin)
  -m megs       - memory limit for child process ($MEM_LIMIT MB)
  -t msec       - run time limit for child process (none)
  -Q            - use binary-only instrumentation (QEMU mode)

Minimization settings:

  -C            - keep crashing inputs, reject everything else
  -e            - solve for edge coverage only, ignore hit counts

For additional tips, please consult docs/README.
