"LLVM-BCANALYZER" "1" "2023-05-24" "16" "LLVM"
NAME
llvm-bcanalyzer - LLVM bitcode analyzer
SYNOPSIS
llvm-bcanalyzer [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The llvm-bcanalyzer command is a small utility for analyzing bitcode files. The tool reads a bitcode file (such as generated with the 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 filename is omitted or is -, then 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.
OPTIONS
NDENT 0.0

--dump Causes 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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--help Print a summary of command line options. NINDENT

EXIT STATUS
If llvm-bcanalyzer succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value, usually 1.
