== ''' Report : Check Command and Overlaps Tool ''' ==
The work done for the project can be split into the following parts:
=== libanalyze function -- analyze_overlaps and libged command -- check_overlaps ===
* The main goal behind adding a check_overlaps command was that libged's rtcheck command acted as a wrapper for the rtcheck program, and ran the rtcheck program with execvp command -- this was not desired as the execution was done in a different process.
* I added the check_overlaps command which had the same options as rtcheck command and the logic behind shooting of rays was done in libanalyze.
* The overlaps were processed on libged side with callback functions.
* The work was done in the first two weeks. The submitted patches were committed --

* I was given commit access to the repo :) and I did the following commits:
