 Long-running applications can use the @code{__gcov_reset} and @code{__gcov_dump}
 facilities to restrict profile collection to the program region of
-interest. Calling @code{__gcov_reset(void)} will clear all profile counters
-to zero, and calling @code{__gcov_dump(void)} will cause the profile information
-collected at that point to be dumped to @file{.gcda} output files.

+counters to zero, and calling @code{__gcov_dump(void)} will cause the profile
+information collected at that point to be dumped to @file{.gcda} output files
+(the function can be called just once).
 Instrumented applications use a static destructor with priority 99
 to invoke the @code{__gcov_dump} function. Thus @code{__gcov_dump}
 is executed after all user defined static destructors,
 as well as handlers registered with @code{atexit}.

 If an executable loads a dynamic shared object via dlopen functionality,
 @option{-Wl,--dynamic-list-data} is needed to dump all profile data.
