The tool +will also dump a low level but human readable version of the bytecode file. +This tool is probably not of much interest or utility except for those working +directly with the bytecode 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 bytecode in a human readable format. This +format is significantly different from LLVM assembly and provides details about +the encoding of the bytecode file. + +=item B<-verify> + +Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to verify the module produced by by reading the +bytecode. 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. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<llvm-dis>, L<docs/BytecodeFormat.html> + +=head1 AUTHORS + +Maintained by the LLVM Team (L<http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu>). + +=cut |
