This page gives some basic details about the Coverage Render Element and how it is used in compositing.

Overview

The Coverage Render Element holds anti-aliasing data based on the Render ID Render Element. When the Coverage Render Element is multiplied by the Render ID Render Element in compositing, it adds anti-aliasing to the Render ID channel, providing a quick object mask.
