7The archives/, images/, multimedia/, and others/ subdirectories contain small,
8standalone files that can be used to seed afl-fuzz when testing parsers for a
9variety of common data formats.

11There is probably not much to be said about these files, except that they were
12optimized for size and stripped of any non-essential fluff. Some directories
13contain several examples that exercise various features of the underlying format.
14For example, there is a PNG file with and without a color profile.

16Additional test cases are always welcome.

18In addition to well-chosen starting files, many fuzzing jobs benefit from a
19small and concise dictionary. See ../dictionaries/README.dictionaries for more.
