+//
+// By default, go test will build and run the fuzz targets using the target's seed
+// corpus only. Any generated corpora in $GOCACHE that were previously written by
+// the fuzzing engine will not be run by default.
+//
+// When -fuzz is set, the binary will be instrumented for coverage. After all

+// have been run, go test will begin to fuzz the specified fuzz target.
+// Note that this feature is experimental.

+// -run can be used for testing a single seed corpus entry for a fuzz target. The
+// regular expression value of -run can be in the form $target/$name, where $target
+// is the name of the fuzz target, and $name is the name of the file (ignoring file
+// extensions) to run. For example, -run=FuzzFoo/497b6f87.
