Meson will autodetect what coverage generator tools you have installed and will generate the corresponding targets. These targets are `coverage-xml` and `coverage-text` which are both provided by [Gcovr](http://gcovr.com) (version 3.3 or higher) and `coverage-html`, which requires [Lcov](https://ltp.sourceforge.io/coverage/lcov.php) and [GenHTML](https://linux.die.net/man/1/genhtml) or [Gcovr](http://gcovr.com).
