NAME
</h3>
analyze
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
analyze [options] [filename]
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The 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).
<p>
If filename is omitted or is -, 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.
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li> -help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -stats
<br>
Print statistics.
<p>
<li> -time-passes
<br>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
<p>
<li> -q
<br>
Quiet mode. With this option, analysis pass names are not printed.
<p>
<li> -load &lt;plugin.so&gt;
<br>
Load the specified dynamic object with name plugin.so. This file
should contain additional analysis passes that register themselves with
the analyze program after being loaded.
<p>
After being loaded, additional command line options are made available
for running the passes made available by plugin.so. Use '<tt>analyze
-load &lt;plugin.so&gt; -help</tt>' to see the new list of available
analysis passes.
<p>
</ul>
<h3>
EXIT STATUS
</h3>
If analyze succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
will exit with a non-zero value.
