+.IX Title "OPT 1"
+.TH OPT 1 "2007-02-02" "CVS" "LLVM Command Guide"
+.SH "NAME"
+opt \- LLVM optimizer
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+\&\fBopt\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIfilename\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBopt\fR command is the modular \s-1LLVM\s0 optimizer and analyzer. It takes \s-1LLVM\s0
+bytecode as input, runs the specified optimizations or analyses on it, and then
+outputs the optimized \s-1LLVM\s0 bytecode or the analysis results. The function of
+\&\fBopt\fR depends on whether the \fB\-analyze\fR option is given.
+.PP
+When \fB\-analyze\fR is specified, \fBopt\fR performs various analyses of \s-1LLVM\s0
+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.
+.PP
+While \fB\-analyze\fR is \fInot\fR given, \fBopt\fR attempts to produce an optimized
+bytecode file. The optimizations available via \fBopt\fR depend upon what
+libraries were linked into it as well as any additional libraries that have
+been loaded with the \fB\-load\fR option. Use the \fB\-help\fR option to determine
+what optimizations you can use.
+.PP
+If \fIfilename\fR is omitted from the command line or is \fI\-\fR, \fBopt\fR reads its
+input from standard input. The input must be an \s-1LLVM\s0 bytecode file.
+.PP
+If an output filename is not specified with the \fB\-o\fR option, \fBopt\fR
+writes its output to the standard output.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-f"
+Force overwrite. Normally, \fBopt\fR will refuse to overwrite an
+output file that already exists. With this option, \fBopt\fR will
+overwrite the output file and replace it with new bytecode.
+.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-help"
+Print a summary of command line options.
+.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-o filename"
+Specify the output filename.
+.IP "\fB\-{passname}\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-{passname}"
+\&\fBopt\fR provides the ability to run any of \s-1LLVM\s0's optimization or analysis passes
+in any order. The \fB\-help\fR option lists all the passes available. The order in
+which the options occur on the command line are the order in which they are
+executed (within pass constraints).
+.IP "\fB\-std\-compile\-opts\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-std-compile-opts"
+This is short hand for a standard list of \fIcompile time optimization\fR passes.
+This is typically used to optimize the output from the llvm-gcc front end. It
+might be useful for other front end compilers as well. To discover the full set
+of options available, use the following command:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& llvm-as < /dev/null | opt -std-compile-opts -disable-output -debug-pass=Arguments
+.Ve
+.IP "\fB\-disable\-inlining\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-disable-inlining"
+This option is only meaningful when \fB\-std\-compile\-opts\fR is given. It simply
+removes the inlining pass from the standard list.
+.IP "\fB\-disable\-opt\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-disable-opt"
+This option is only meaningful when \fB\-std\-compile\-opts\fR is given. It disables
+most, but not all, of the \fB\-std\-compile\-opts\fR. The ones that remain are
+\&\fB\-verify\fR, \fB\-lower\-setjmp\fR, and \fB\-funcresolve\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-strip\-debug\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-strip-debug"
+This option causes opt to strip debug information from the module before
+applying other optimizations. It is essentially the same as \fB\-strip\fR but it
+ensures that stripping of debug information is done first.
+.IP "\fB\-verify\-each\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-verify-each"
+This option causes opt to add a verify pass after every pass otherwise specified
+on the command line (including \fB\-verify\fR). This is useful for cases where it
+is suspected that a pass is creating an invalid module but it is not clear which
+pass is doing it. The combination of \fB\-std\-compile\-opts\fR and \fB\-verify\-each\fR
+can quickly track down this kind of problem.
+.IP "\fB\-profile\-info\-file\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-profile-info-file filename"
+Specify the name of the file loaded by the \-profile\-loader option.
+.IP "\fB\-stats\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-stats"
+Print statistics.
+.IP "\fB\-time\-passes\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-time-passes"
+Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
+error.
+.IP "\fB\-debug\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-debug"
+If this is a debug build, this option will enable debug printouts
+from passes which use the \fI\s-1\fIDEBUG\s0()\fI\fR macro. See the \fB\s-1LLVM\s0 Programmer's
+Manual\fR, section \fI#DEBUG\fR for more information.
+.IP "\fB\-load\fR=\fIplugin\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-load=plugin"
+Load the dynamic object \fIplugin\fR. This object should register new optimization
+or analysis passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command line options to
+enable various optimizations or analyses. To see the new complete list of
+optimizations, use the \fB\-help\fR and \fB\-load\fR options together. For example:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& opt -load=plugin.so -help
+.Ve
+.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-p"
+Print module after each transformation.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.IX Header "EXIT STATUS"
+If \fBopt\fR succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
+occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
+.SH "AUTHORS"
+.IX Header "AUTHORS"
+Maintained by the \s-1LLVM\s0 Team (<http://llvm.org>).
