1. Reset coverage data: lcov -z
2. Run LTP (or any other test case)
3. Capture coverage data: lcov -c -o coverage.info
4. Generate HTML output: genhtml coverage.info -o out
5. View HTML output: <browser> out/index.html

More information on lcov can be found on the page behind the second URL
your quoted in your mail.
