+Flags
+=====
+The most important flags are::
+
+  seed                               	0	Random seed. If 0, seed is generated.
+  runs                               	-1	Number of individual test runs (-1 for infinite runs).
+  max_len                            	64	Maximal length of the test input.
+  cross_over                         	1	If 1, cross over inputs.
+  mutate_depth                       	5	Apply this number of consecutive mutations to each input.
+  timeout                            	-1	Timeout in seconds (if positive). If one unit runs more than this number of seconds the process will abort.
+  help                               	0	Print help.
+  save_minimized_corpus              	0	If 1, the minimized corpus is saved into the first input directory
+  jobs                               	0	Number of jobs to run. If jobs >= 1 we spawn this number of jobs in separate worker processes with stdout/stderr redirected to fuzz-JOB.log.
+  workers                            	0	Number of simultaneous worker processes to run the jobs. If zero, "min(jobs,NumberOfCpuCores()/2)" is used.
+  tokens                             	0	Use the file with tokens (one token per line) to fuzz a token based input language.
+  apply_tokens                       	0	Read the given input file, substitute bytes  with tokens and write the result to stdout.
+  sync_command                       	0	Execute an external command "<sync_command> <test_corpus>" to synchronize the test corpus.
+  sync_timeout                       	600	Minimal timeout between syncs.
+
+For the full list of flags run the fuzzer binary with ``-help=1``.
