- Setting `AFL_QUIET` will prevent afl-cc and afl-as banners from being
displayed during compilation, in case you find them distracting.
- - Setting `AFL_USE_ASAN` automatically enables ASAN, provided that your
- compiler supports it.
-
- (You can also enable MSAN via `AFL_USE_MSAN`; ASAN and MSAN come with the
- same gotchas; the modes are mutually exclusive. UBSAN can be enabled
- similarly by setting the environment variable `AFL_USE_UBSAN=1`. Finally,
- there is the Control Flow Integrity sanitizer that can be activated by
- `AFL_USE_CFISAN=1`.)
-
- - Setting `AFL_USE_LSAN` automatically enables Leak-Sanitizer, provided that
- your compiler supports it. To perform a leak check within your program at a
- certain point (such as at the end of an __AFL_LOOP), you can run the macro
- __AFL_LEAK_CHECK(); which will cause an abort if any memory is leaked (you
- can combine this with the LSAN_OPTIONS=suppressions option to supress some
- known leaks).

- `TMPDIR` is used by afl-as for temporary files; if this variable is not set,
the tool defaults to /tmp.
