Added information on how input and output files are selected.
Added information on where files are located by llvm-link. Added missing options. Re-worded some stuff so that it (hopefully) sounds better. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@8723 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

DESCRIPTION
</h3>
-The llvm-link command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them together into a single LLVM bytecode file.
+The llvm-link command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them together
+into a single LLVM bytecode file. It writes the output file to standard
+output, unless the -o option is used to specify a filename.
+<p>
+
+The llvm-link command attempts to load the input files from the current
+directory. If that fails, it attempts to locate each file within the
+directories specified by the -L options on the command line. The library
+search paths are global; each one is search for every input file if necessary.
+The directories are searched in the order they were specified on the command
+line.

DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The opt command is the LLVM optimizer. It takes LLVM bytecode as input, runs
-the specified optimizations on it, and then outputs the optimized code in LLVM
+the specified optimizations on it, and then outputs the optimized LLVM
bytecode.
+<p>
-The optimizations available via opt depend upon what libraries it was linked
-with, as well as any additional libraries that have been loaded with the -load
-option. Use the -help option to determine what optimizations you can use.
