# OSS-Fuzz Glossary
**WORK-IN-PROGRESS**
Naming things is hard.<BR>
This page tries to reduce confusion around fuzz-related terminology.

## Fuzz Target
Or **Target Function** or **Fuzzing Target Function**, or **Fuzzing Entry Point**.<BR>
A function to which we apply fuzzing.
A [specific signature](http://libfuzzer.info#fuzz-target) must be used for OSS-Fuzz.

A [specific signature](http://libfuzzer.info#fuzz-target) is needed for OSS-Fuzz.
Examples: [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/fuzz/x509.c),
[SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact/ad79e867fb504338),
[re2](https://github.com/google/re2/blob/master/re2/fuzzing/re2_fuzzer.cc).

A Fuzz Target can and should also be used for regression testing
and for reproducing bug reports, see [ideal integration](ideal_integration.md).
A Fuzz Target can be used to [reproduce bug reports](reproducing.md).
It is recommended to use it for regression testing (see [ideal integration](ideal_integration.md)).
## Library Config
???Any better name???
## Project
OSS-Fuzz-specific term. <BR>
OSS-Fuzz applies fuzzing to [Fuzz Targets](#fuzz-target)
that test APIs of some specific opensource library
(or sometimes, internal functions of some application).
One library may have more than one Fuzz Target
One project may have more than one Fuzz Target
(example: [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/fuzz/)),
but OSS-Fuzz will have a single set of configuration files for such library.
This is what we call **Library Config**.
