The LLVM and Clang websites are the best place to find documentation.

LLVM documentation can be found online at http://llvm.org/docs. Clang 
has a user's manual at http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html and 
an internals manual at http://clang.llvm.org/docs/InternalsManual.html.  
If you're coding for LLVM and/or Clang, be sure to use the doxygen 
documentation to get information on C++ classes that you can use to 
manipulate the IR.

If you want code examples, there's the analysis passes in LLVM (e.g. 
llvm/lib/Analysis and llvm/lib/Transforms) as well as the code in the 
various sub-projects like Poolalloc and SAFECode.  There are probably 
similar code examples in Clang.

If you just want to use Clang, remember that it's a drop-in replacement 
for GCC, so many of GCC's command-line options should work.
