+Extra files
+-----------
+
+If your test requires extra files besides the file containing the ``RUN:``
+lines, the idiomatic place to put them is in a subdirectory ``Inputs``.
+You can then refer to the extra files as ``%S/Inputs/foo.bar``.
+
+For example, consider ``test/Linker/ident.ll``. The directory structure is
+as follows::
+
+ test/
+ Linker/
+ ident.ll
+ Inputs/
+ ident.a.ll
+ ident.b.ll
+
+For convenience, these are the contents:
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ ;;;;; ident.ll:
+
+ ; RUN: llvm-link %S/Inputs/ident.a.ll %S/Inputs/ident.b.ll -S | FileCheck %s
+
+ ; Verify that multiple input llvm.ident metadata are linked together.
+
+ ; CHECK-DAG: !llvm.ident = !{!0, !1, !2}
+ ; CHECK-DAG: "Compiler V1"
+ ; CHECK-DAG: "Compiler V2"
+ ; CHECK-DAG: "Compiler V3"
+
+ ;;;;; Inputs/ident.a.ll:
+
+ !llvm.ident = !{!0, !1}
+ !0 = metadata !{metadata !"Compiler V1"}
+ !1 = metadata !{metadata !"Compiler V2"}
+
+ ;;;;; Inputs/ident.b.ll:
+
+ !llvm.ident = !{!0}
+ !0 = metadata !{metadata !"Compiler V3"}
+
+For symmetry reasons, ``ident.ll`` is just a dummy file that doesn't
+actually participate in the test besides holding the ``RUN:`` lines.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Some existing tests use ``RUN: true`` in extra files instead of just
+ putting the extra files in an ``Inputs/`` directory. This pattern is
+ deprecated.
