Generate type stubs for TVM FFI extensions. It supports two modes
- In `--init-*` mode, it generates missing `_ffi_api.py` and `__init__.py` files, based on the registered global functions and object types in the loaded libraries.
- In normal mode, it processes the given files/directories in-place, generating type stubs inside special `tvm-ffi-stubgen` directive blocks.

Documentation: https://tvm.apache.org/ffi/packaging/stubgen.html.

positional arguments:
  PATH                  Files or directories to process. Directories are scanned recursively; only files with the target's source extensions (.py and .pyi for python) are modified. Use tvm-ffi-stubgen directives to select where stubs are generated. (default: None)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --imports IMPORTS     Additional imports to load before generation, separated by ';' (e.g. 'pkgA;pkgB.submodule'). (default: )
  --dlls LIBS           Shared libraries to preload before generation (e.g. TVM runtime or your extension), separated by ';'. This ensures global function and object metadata is available. Platform-specific suffixes like .so/.dylib/.dll are supported. (default: )
  --init-pypkg INIT_PYPKG
                        Python package name to generate stubs for (e.g. apache-tvm-ffi). Required together with --init-lib and --init-prefix. (default: )
  --init-lib INIT_LIB   CMake target that produces the shared library to load for stub generation (e.g. tvm_ffi_shared). Required together with --init-pypkg and --init-prefix. (default: )
  --init-prefix INIT_PREFIX
                        Global function/object prefix to include when generating stubs (e.g. tvm_ffi.). Required together with --init-pypkg and --init-lib. (default: )
  --indent INDENT       Extra spaces added inside each generated block, relative to the indentation of the corresponding stub 'begin' marker line. (default: 4)
  --target {python,rust}
                        Code generator target. (default: python)
  --verbose             Print a unified diff of changes to each file. This is useful for debugging or previewing changes before applying them. (default: False)
  --dry-run             Don't write changes to files. This is useful for previewing changes without modifying any files. (default: False)
  --check               Don't write changes; report every file whose stub blocks are out of date and exit with status 1 if there is any. Cannot be combined with --init-*. (default: False)
  --coverage-out JSON   Write a JSON report classifying every registered object type by whether its native memory layout can be reproduced from reflection (complete) or not (opaque), with the byte evidence. May be used without PATH arguments. (default: None)
