=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The B<opt> command is the modular LLVM optimizer. It takes LLVM
-bytecode as input, runs the specified optimizations on it, and then
-outputs the optimized LLVM bytecode.

-The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what libraries

-been loaded with the B<-load> option. Use the B<-help> option to
-determine what optimizations you can use.
+The B<opt> command is the modular LLVM optimizer and analyzer. It takes LLVM
+bytecode as input, runs the specified optimizations or analyses on it, and then
+outputs the optimized LLVM bytecode or the analysis results. The function of
+B<opt> depends on whether the B<-analyze> option is given.
+
+When B<-analyze> is specified, B<opt> performs various analyses of LLVM
+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.
+
+While B<-analyze> is I<not> given, B<opt> attempts to produce an optimized
+bytecode file. The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what
+libraries were linked into it as well as any additional libraries that have
+been loaded with the B<-load> option. Use the B<-help> option to determine
+what optimizations you can use.
-If no filename is specified on the command line, B<opt> reads its
-input from standard input.
+If I<filename> is omitted from the command line or is I<->, B<opt> reads its
+input from standard input. The input must be an LLVM bytecode file.
If an output filename is not specified with the B<-o> option, B<opt>
writes its output to the standard output.
