+llvm-bcanalyzer - LLVM bitcode analyzer
+=======================================
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+:program:`llvm-bcanalyzer` [*options*] [*filename*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The :program:`llvm-bcanalyzer` command is a small utility for analyzing bitcode
+files.  The tool reads a bitcode file (such as generated with the
+:program:`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 :program:`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
+-------
+
+.. program:: llvm-bcanalyzer
+
+.. option:: -nodetails
+
+ Causes :program:`llvm-bcanalyzer` to abbreviate its output by writing out only
+ a module level summary.  The details for individual functions are not
+ displayed.
+
+.. option:: -dump
+
+ Causes :program:`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.
+
+.. option:: -verify
+
+ Causes :program:`llvm-bcanalyzer` to verify the module produced by reading the
+ bitcode.  This ensures that the statistics generated are based on a consistent
+ module.
+
+.. option:: -help
+
+ Print a summary of command line options.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+If :program:`llvm-bcanalyzer` succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an
+error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value, usually 1.
+

+
+**Number Of Long Instructions**
+
+ The total number of long instructions defined in all functions in the bitcode
+ file.  Long instructions are those taking greater than 4 bytes.  Typically long
+ instructions are GetElementPtr with several indices, PHI nodes, and calls to
+ functions with large numbers of arguments.
