=head1 NAME

llvm-upgrade - LLVM assembly upgrade tool

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<llvm-upgrade> [I<options>] [I<filename>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<llvm-upgrade> is the LLVM assembly upgrade tool.  It reads a file containing 
human-readable LLVM assembly language, and upgrades that assembly to the current
version of LLVM. If the input is in the form currently accepted by LLVM, then
no upgrades are performed. 

The expected usage of this tool is as a filter, like this:

=over

B<llvm-1.9/bin/llvm-dis < 1.9.bc | llvm-upgrade | llvm-2.0/bin/llvm-as -o 2.0.bc>

=back

If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-upgrade> reads its input from
standard input.

If an output file is not specified with the B<-o> option, then
B<llvm-upgrade> sends its output to standard output.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<-f>

Force overwrite.  Normally, B<llvm-upgrade> will refuse to overwrite an
output file that already exists.  With this option, B<llvm-upgrade>
will overwrite the output file.

=item B<--help>

Print a summary of command line options.

=item B<-o> F<filename>

Specify the output file name.  If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-upgrade>
sends its output to standard output.

=back

=head1 EXIT STATUS

If B<llvm-upgrade> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
