+"""Helper script for GN to run malioc.
+
+This is the same as `gn_run_binary.py`, except an extra parameter is included
+for the malioc output file. When the malioc run fails, errors are placed in the
+json output file. This script attempts to read the output file and dump it to
+stdout upon failure.
+
+Run with:
+  python gn_run_malioc.py <binary_name> <output_path> [args ...]
