NAME

analyze - LLVM program analyzer

SYNOPSIS

analyze [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

The analyze command performs various analysis of LLVM assembly code or bytecode. 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.

If filename is omitted or is -, analyze reads its input from standard input. It first attempts to interpret its input as LLVM bytecode. If it encounters an error, it then attempts to parse the input as LLVM assembly language.
