Added information on where files are located by llvm-link.

<h3>
NAME
</h3>
llvm-link
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
llvm-link [options] &lt;filename&gt; [filename ...]
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The llvm-link command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them together
into a single LLVM bytecode file. It writes the output file to standard
output, unless the -o option is used to specify a filename.
<p>
The llvm-link command attempts to load the input files from the current
directory. If that fails, it attempts to locate each file within the
directories specified by the -L options on the command line. The library
search paths are global; each one is search for every input file if necessary.
The directories are searched in the order they were specified on the command
line.
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li>-L &lt;directory&gt;
<br>
Add the specified directory to the library search path. When looking for
libraries, llvm-link will look in pathname for libraries. This option can
be specified multiple times; llvm-link will search inside these directories
in the order in which they were specified on the command line.
<p>
<li>-f
<br>
Overwrite output files. By default, llvm-link will not overwrite an
output file if it alreadys exists.
<p>
<li>-o &lt;filename&gt;
<br>
Output filename. If filename is -, then llvm-link will write its output to
standard output.
<p>
<li>-d
<br>
If specified, llvm-link prints a human readable version of the output
bytecode file to standard error.
<p>
<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>-v
<br>
Verbose mode. Print information about what llvm-link is doing.
</ul>

EXIT STATUS
