+
+The `--check-coverage` CLI flag, used in conjunction with
+the `--experimental-test-coverage` command, enforces that
+the test coverage thresholds specified by check
+flags are respected:
+
+* [`--lines=threshold`][]: Sets the threshold for line coverage.
+* [`--branches=threshold`][]: Sets the threshold for branch coverage.
+* [`--functions=threshold`][]: Sets the threshold for function coverage.
+
+To enforce global 100% coverage set the value of the each flag to 100:
+
+```bash
+node --test --experimental-test-coverage --check-coverage --lines=100 --branches=100 --functions=100
+```
+
+If one of the specified coverage check falls below the threshold,
+the test will exit with non zero code.

+
+> Stability: 1 - Experimental
+
+The `--lines` CLI flag, used in conjunction with the `--check-coverage` flag,
+enforces a coverage threshold check for lines of code covered by the test.
+It is expressed as a numerical value between `0` and `100`,
+representing the percentage (e.g., 80 for 80% coverage).
+If the coverage falls below the threshold,
+the test will exit with non zero code.
+
+```bash
+node --test --experimental-test-coverage --check-coverage --lines=80

+
+The `--branches` CLI flag, used in conjunction with the `--check-coverage` flag,
+enforces a coverage threshold check for branches of code covered by the test.
+It is expressed as a numerical value between `0` and `100`,

+By using the CLI flag [`--check-coverage`][]
+in conjunction with the `--experimental-test-coverage` flag,
+it is possible to enforce specific test coverage threshold checks
+(`--lines=threshold`, `--branches=threshold`, `--functions=threshold`).
+When enabled, it evaluates the test coverage achieved during
+the execution of tests and determines whether it meets
+the specified coverage thresholds.
+If the coverage check falls below the specified threshold,
+the program will exit with a non zero code.
+
+```bash
+node --test --experimental-test-coverage --check-coverage --lines=100 --branches=100 --functions=100
