As libraries merely expose APIs to developers rather than directly handling user input, applying fuzzing to libraries requires fuzz drivers to help process fuzzer-provided input and invoke APIs. To reduce manual effort and avoid reliance on additional samples, some techniques generate fuzz drivers d...
