+llvm-profdata - Profile data tool
+=================================
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata` *command* [*args...*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The :program:`llvm-profdata` tool is a small utility for working with profile
+data files.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+* :ref:`merge <profdata-merge>`
+* :ref:`show <profdata-show>`
+
+.. program:: llvm-profdata merge
+
+.. _profdata-merge:
+
+MERGE
+-----
+
+SYNOPSIS
+^^^^^^^^
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata merge` [*options*] [*filename...*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata merge` takes several profile data files
+generated by PGO instrumentation and merges them together into a single
+indexed profile data file.
+
+By default profile data is merged without modification. This means that the
+relative importance of each input file is proportional to the number of samples
+or counts it contains. In general, the input from a longer training run will be
+interpreted as relatively more important than a shorter run. Depending on the
+nature of the training runs it may be useful to adjust the weight given to each
+input file by using the ``-weighted-input`` option.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. option:: -help
+
+ Print a summary of command line options.
+
+.. option:: -output=output, -o=output
+
+ Specify the output file name.  *Output* cannot be ``-`` as the resulting
+ indexed profile data can't be written to standard output.
+
+.. option:: -weighted-input=weight,filename
+
+ Specify an input file name along with a weight. The profile counts of the input
+ file will be scaled (multiplied) by the supplied ``weight``, where where ``weight``
+ is a decimal integer >= 1. Input files specified without using this option are
+ assigned a default weight of 1. Examples are shown below.
+
+.. option:: -instr (default)
+
+ Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile.
+
+.. option:: -sample
+
+ Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile.
+ 
+ The format of the generated file can be generated in one of three ways:
+
+ .. option:: -binary (default)
+
+ Emit the profile using a binary encoding. For instrumentation-based profile
+ the output format is the indexed binary format. 
+
+ .. option:: -text
+
+ Emit the profile in text mode. This option can also be used with both
+ sample-based and instrumentation-based profile. When this option is used
+ the profile will be dumped in the text format that is parsable by the profile
+ reader.
+
+ .. option:: -gcc
+
+ Emit the profile using GCC's gcov format (Not yet supported).
+
+EXAMPLES
+^^^^^^^^
+Basic Usage
++++++++++++
+Merge three profiles:
+
+::
+
+    llvm-profdata merge foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
+
+Weighted Input
+++++++++++++++
+The input file `foo.profdata` is especially important, multiply its counts by 10:
+
+::
+
+    llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
+
+Exactly equivalent to the previous invocation (explicit form; useful for programmatic invocation):
+
+::
+
+    llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata -weighted-input=1,bar.profdata -weighted-input=1,baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
+
+.. program:: llvm-profdata show
+
+.. _profdata-show:
+
+SHOW
+----
+
+SYNOPSIS
+^^^^^^^^
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata show` [*options*] [*filename*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata show` takes a profile data file and displays the
+information about the profile counters for this file and
+for any of the specified function(s).
+
+If *filename* is omitted or is ``-``, then **llvm-profdata show** reads its
+input from standard input.
+
+OPTIONS
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. option:: -all-functions
+
+ Print details for every function.
+
+.. option:: -counts
+
+ Print the counter values for the displayed functions.
+
+.. option:: -function=string
+
+ Print details for a function if the function's name contains the given string.
+
+.. option:: -help
+
+ Print a summary of command line options.
+
+.. option:: -output=output, -o=output
+
+ Specify the output file name.  If *output* is ``-`` or it isn't specified,
+ then the output is sent to standard output.
+
+.. option:: -instr (default)
+
+ Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile.
+
+.. option:: -text
+
+ Instruct the profile dumper to show profile counts in the text format of the
+ instrumentation-based profile data representation. By default, the profile
+ information is dumped in a more human readable form (also in text) with
+ annotations.
+
+.. option:: -sample
+
+ Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+:program:`llvm-profdata` returns 1 if the command is omitted or is invalid,
+if it cannot read input files, or if there is a mismatch between their data.
