B<llvm-as> is the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing human-readable
-LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bytecode, and writes the result
+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

-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.
