llvm-bcanalyzer - LLVM bitcode analyzer

SYNOPSIS

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.
