=head1 SYNOPSIS
-llvm-as [options] [filename]
+B<llvm-as> [I<options>] [I<filename>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The B<llvm-as> command invokes the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing
-human-readable LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bytecode, and
-writes the result into a file or to standard output.
+B<llvm-as> is the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing human-readable
+LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bitcode, and writes the result
+into a file or to standard output.
If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-as> reads its input from
standard input.
=item B<-f>
-Force overwrite. Normally, B<llvm-as> will refuse to overwrite an
-output file that already exists. With this option, B<llvm-as>
-will overwrite the output file and replace it with new bytecode.
+Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, B<llvm-as> will refuse to
+write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
+B<llvm-as> will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.
-=item B<--help>
+=item B<-help>
Print a summary of command line options.
Specify the output file name. If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-as>
sends its output to standard output.
-=item B<--stats>
-
-Print statistics.
-
-=item B<--time-passes>
-
-Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
-error.
