Documentation for FileCheck: use 'option' and 'program' directives.
This enables option cross-referencing and now '--' in option names are no more turned into en dashes. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@168926 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-**FileCheck** reads two files (one from standard input, and one specified on the
-command line) and uses one to verify the other. This behavior is particularly
-useful for the testsuite, which wants to verify that the output of some tool
-(e.g. llc) contains the expected information (for example, a movsd from esp or
-whatever is interesting). This is similar to using grep, but it is optimized

OPTIONS

-**-help**
+.. option:: -help
Print a summary of command line options.
-**--check-prefix** *prefix*
+.. option:: --check-prefix prefix
- FileCheck searches the contents of *match-filename* for patterns to match. By
- default, these patterns are prefixed with "``CHECK:``". If you'd like to use a
- different prefix (e.g. because the same input file is checking multiple
- different tool or options), the **--check-prefix** argument allows you to specify
- a specific prefix to match.

-**--input-file** *filename*
+.. option:: --input-file filename
File to check (defaults to stdin).
-**--strict-whitespace**
+.. option:: --strict-whitespace
By default, FileCheck canonicalizes input horizontal whitespace (spaces and
tabs) which causes it to ignore these differences (a space will match a tab).
- The **--strict-whitespace** argument disables this behavior.

Show the version number of this program.
