 Once you implement your target function ``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput`` and fuzz it to death,
 you will want to know whether the function or the corpus can be improved further.
 One easy to use metric is, of course, code coverage.
-You can get the coverage for your corpus like this:
 
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  ./fuzzer CORPUS_DIR -runs=0 -print_coverage=1
-
-This will run all tests in the CORPUS_DIR but will not perform any fuzzing.
-At the end of the process it will print text describing what code has been covered and what hasn't.
-
-Alternatively, use
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  ./fuzzer CORPUS_DIR -runs=0 -dump_coverage=1
-
-which will dump a ``.sancov`` file with coverage information.
-See SanitizerCoverage_ for details on querying the file using the ``sancov`` tool.
+We recommend to use
+`Clang Coverage <http://clang.llvm.org/docs/SourceBasedCodeCoverage.html>`_,
+to visualize and study your code coverage
+(`example <https://github.com/google/fuzzer-test-suite/blob/master/tutorial/libFuzzerTutorial.md#visualizing-coverage>`_).
 
-You may also use other ways to visualize coverage,
-e.g. using `Clang coverage <http://clang.llvm.org/docs/SourceBasedCodeCoverage.html>`_,
-but those will require
-you to rebuild the code with different compiler flags.
