| =head1 NAME
 | |
| 
 | |
| llvm-bcanalyzer - LLVM bitcode analyzer
 | |
| 
 | |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS
 | |
| 
 | |
| B<llvm-bcanalyzer> [I<options>] [F<filename>]
 | |
| 
 | |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION
 | |
| 
 | |
| The B<llvm-bcanalyzer> command is a small utility for analyzing bitcode files.
 | |
| The tool reads a bitcode file (such as generated with the B<llvm-as> tool) and
 | |
| produces a statistical report on the contents of the bitcode file.  The tool
 | |
| can also dump a low level but human readable version of the bitcode file. 
 | |
| This tool is probably not of much interest or utility except for those working 
 | |
| directly with the bitcode file format. Most LLVM users can just ignore
 | |
| this tool.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-bcanalyzer> reads its input 
 | |
| from standard input. This is useful for combining the tool into a pipeline.
 | |
| Output is written to the standard output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| =head1 OPTIONS
 | |
| 
 | |
| =over
 | |
| 
 | |
| =item B<-nodetails>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to abbreviate its output by writing out only a module 
 | |
| level summary. The details for individual functions are not displayed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| =item B<-dump>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to dump the bitcode in a human readable format. This 
 | |
| format is significantly different from LLVM assembly and provides details about 
 | |
| the encoding of the bitcode file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| =item B<-verify>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to verify the module produced by reading the 
 | |
| bitcode. This ensures that the statistics generated are based on a consistent
 | |
| module.
 | |
| 
 | |
| =item B<--help>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Print a summary of command line options.
 | |
| 
 | |
| =back
 | |
| 
 | |
| =head1 EXIT STATUS
 | |
| 
 | |
| If B<llvm-bcanalyzer> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
 | |
| occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value, usually 1.
 | |
| 
 | |
