[PATCH] D54864: Introduce llvm-objdump man page

emaste added a comment.

Additional comment that wasn't submitted while reviews.llvm.org was down on Friday: I started working on this as it's needed for us to switch from GNU objdump to llvm-objdump in FreeBSD (FreeBSD PR229046 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/229046>).

As an aside, there are a few outstanding issues in llvm-objdump that we'd like to have addressed (LLVM PRs):
39101 llvm-objdump does not support --demangle
37895 llvm-objdump --help omits many single-letter options
37151 llvm-objdump does not accept -z option
31679 llvm-objdump does not accept combined args as GNU objdump does
30241 llvm-objdump -p omits dynamic headers (in comparison to GNU objdump)
27249 llvm-objdump --dwarf=frames printing wrong values
26892 llvm-objdump -t includes reserved undefined symbol in output, compared with GNU objdump
25124 llvm-objdump prints unknown for relocation info on PPC
21059 llvm-objdump -r reports relocation against symbol `Unknown' on x86
18293 llvm-objdump: warning: invalid instruction encoding
18154 llvm-objdump should have a option to start disassembly at a specified symbol name

It seems that there are option parsing improvements to be made in llvm-objdump, as well as in its usage information. I hope that we can  commit this man page and then keep it updates as that work is done.
