+        `data_file` is the base name of the data file to use, defaulting to
+        ".coverage".  `data_suffix` is appended (with a dot) to `data_file` to
+        create the final file name.  If `data_suffix` is simply True, then a
+        suffix is created with the machine and process identity included.
+
+        `cover_pylib` is a boolean determining whether Python code installed
+        with the Python interpreter is measured.  This includes the Python
+        standard library and any packages installed with the interpreter.
+
+        If `auto_data` is true, then any existing data file will be read when
+        coverage measurement starts, and data will be saved automatically when
+        measurement stops.
+
+        If `timid` is true, then a slower and simpler trace function will be
+        used.  This is important for some environments where manipulation of
+        tracing functions breaks the faster trace function.
+
+        If `branch` is true, then branch coverage will be measured in addition
+        to the usual statement coverage.
+
+        `config_file` determines what config file to read.  If it is a string,
+        it is the name of the config file to read.  If it is True, then a
+        standard file is read (".coveragerc").  If it is False, then no file is
+        read.
+
+        `source` is a list of file paths or package names.  Only code located
+        in the trees indicated by the file paths or package names will be
+        measured.
+
+        `include` and `omit` are lists of filename patterns. Files that match
+        `include` will be measured, files that match `omit` will not.  Each
+        will also accept a single string argument.
+
+        `debug` is a list of strings indicating what debugging information is
+        desired. `debug_file` is the file to write debug messages to,
+        defaulting to stderr.
