+.IX Title "LLVM-BCANALYZER 1"
+.TH LLVM-BCANALYZER 1 "2006-03-13" "CVS" "LLVM Command Guide"
+.SH "NAME"
+llvm\-bcanalyzer \- LLVM bytecode analyzer
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+\&\fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIfilename\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR command is a small utility for analyzing bytecode files.
+The tool reads a bytecode file (such as generated with the \fBllvm-as\fR tool) and
+produces a statistical report on the contents of the byteocde file. The tool
+can 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 \s-1LLVM\s0 users can just ignore
+this tool.
+.PP
+If \fIfilename\fR is omitted or is \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, then \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR reads its input
+from standard input. This is useful for combining the tool into a pipeline.
+Output is written to the standard output.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-nodetails\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-nodetails"
+Causes \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR to abbreviate its output by writing out only a module
+level summary. The details for individual functions are not displayed.
+.IP "\fB\-dump\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-dump"
+Causes \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR to dump the bytecode in a human readable format. This
+format is significantly different from \s-1LLVM\s0 assembly and provides details about
+the encoding of the bytecode file.
+.IP "\fB\-verify\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-verify"
+Causes \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR to verify the module produced by reading the
+bytecode. This ensures that the statistics generated are based on a consistent
+module.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help"
+Print a summary of command line options.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.IX Header "EXIT STATUS"
+If \fBllvm-bcanalyzer\fR succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
+occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value, usually 1.
