=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<opt> command is the modular LLVM optimizer and analyzer. It takes LLVM
bitcode as input, runs the specified optimizations or analyses on it, and then
outputs the optimized LLVM bitcode or the analysis results. The function of
source files as input, runs the specified optimizations or analyses on it, and then
outputs the optimized file or the analysis results. The function of
B<opt> depends on whether the B<-analyze> option is given.
When B<-analyze> is specified, B<opt> performs various analyses of LLVM
bitcode. 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.

While B<-analyze> is I<not> given, B<opt> attempts to produce an optimized
bitcode file. The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what
output file. The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what
libraries were linked into it as well as any additional libraries that have
been loaded with the B<-load> option. Use the B<-help> option to determine
what optimizations you can use.
If I<filename> is omitted from the command line or is I<->, B<opt> reads its

If an output filename is not specified with the B<-o> option, B<opt>
writes its output to the standard output.
