digitalmars.D.learn - does the format of coverage files have a name?

or was the .lst extension chosen arbitrarily?

my text editor [notepad++] thinks it's COBOL for some reason but 
that's obviously not correct, so i'm wondering if it has an 
official spec or anything. knowing the name of it would help - 
maybe my editor already has syntax highlighting for it.

I think it's a bespoke format with no official name. The closest thing to a spec is this page: https://dlang.org/articles/code_coverage.html
