=head1 NAME
analyze - LLVM program analyzer
=head1 SYNOPSIS
analyze [options] [filename]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<analyze> command performs various analysis of LLVM assembly
code or bytecode. It will usually print the results on standard
output, but in a few cases, it will print output to standard error
or generate a file with the analysis output, which is usually done
when the output is meant for another program.
If filename is omitted or is I<->, B<analyze> reads its input from
standard input. It first attempts to interpret its input as LLVM
bytecode. If it encounters an error, it then attempts to parse the
input as LLVM assembly language.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<-help>
Print a summary of command line options.
=item B<-q>
Quiet mode. With this option, analysis pass names are not printed.
=item B<-load> I<plugin>
Load the specified dynamic object with name I<plugin>. This file
should contain additional analysis passes that register themselves
with the B<analyze> program after being loaded.
After being loaded, additional command line options are made
available for running the passes made available by I<plugin>. Use
B<analyze -load> I<plugin> B<-help> to see the new list of available
analysis passes.
=item B<-profile-info-file> I<filename>
Specify the name of the file loaded by the -profile-loader option.
=item B<-stats>
Print statistics.
=item B<-time-passes>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
If B<analyze> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.

=head1 NAME
opt - LLVM optimizer
=head1 SYNOPSIS
opt [options] [filename]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<opt> command is the modular LLVM optimizer. It takes LLVM
bytecode as input, runs the specified optimizations on it, and then
outputs the optimized LLVM bytecode.
The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what libraries
were linked into it as well as any additional libraries that have
been loaded with the B<-load> option. Use the B<-help> option to
determine what optimizations you can use.
If no filename is specified on the command line, B<opt> reads its
input from standard input.
If an output filename is not specified with the B<-o> option, B<opt>
writes its output to the standard output.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<-f>
Force overwrite. Normally, B<opt> will refuse to overwrite an
output file that already exists. With this option, B<opt> will
overwrite the output file and replace it with new bytecode.
=item B<-help>
Print a summary of command line options.
=item B<-o> I<filename>
Specify the output filename.
=item B<-profile-info-file> I<filename>
Specify the name of the file loaded by the -profile-loader option.
=item B<-stats>
Print statistics.
=item B<-time-passes>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
=item B<-debug>
If this is a debug build, this option will enable debug printouts
from passes which use the I<DEBUG()> macro. See the B<LLVM Programmer's
Manual>, section I<#DEBUG> for more information.
=item B<-load>=I<plugin>
Load the dynamic object I<plugin>. This object should register new
optimization passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command line
options to enable various optimizations. To see the new complete list
of optimizations, use the B<-help> and B<-load> options together:
=over
B<opt -load>=I<plugin> B<-help>
=back
=item B<-p>
Print module after each transformation.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
If B<opt> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
