+=head1 NAME
+
+bugpoint - automatic test case reduction tool
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<bugpoint> [I<options>] [I<input LLVM ll/bc files>] [I<LLVM passes>] B<--args>
+I<program arguments>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<bugpoint> narrows down the source of problems in LLVM tools and passes.  It
+can be used to debug three types of failures: optimizer crashes, miscompilations
+by optimizers, or bad native code generation (including problems in the static
+and JIT compilers).  It aims to reduce large test cases to small, useful ones.
+For more information on the design and inner workings of B<bugpoint>, as well as
+advice for using bugpoint, see F<llvm/docs/Bugpoint.html> in the LLVM
+distribution.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 
+
+=item B<--additional-so> F<library>
+
+Load the dynamic shared object F<library> into the test program whenever it is
+run.  This is useful if you are debugging programs which depend on non-LLVM
+libraries (such as the X or curses libraries) to run.
+
+=item B<--args> I<program args>
+
+Pass all arguments specified after -args to the test program whenever it runs.
+Note that if any of the I<program args> start with a '-', you should use:
+
+    bugpoint [bugpoint args] --args -- [program args]
+
+The "--" right after the B<--args> option tells B<bugpoint> to consider any
+options starting with C<-> to be part of the B<--args> option, not as options to
+B<bugpoint> itself.
+
+=item B<--tool-args> I<tool args>
+
+Pass all arguments specified after --tool-args to the LLVM tool under test
+(B<llc>, B<lli>, etc.) whenever it runs.  You should use this option in the
+following way:
+
+    bugpoint [bugpoint args] --tool-args -- [tool args]
+
+The "--" right after the B<--tool-args> option tells B<bugpoint> to consider any
+options starting with C<-> to be part of the B<--tool-args> option, not as
+options to B<bugpoint> itself. (See B<--args>, above.)
+
+=item B<--check-exit-code>=I<{true,false}>
+
+Assume a non-zero exit code or core dump from the test program is a failure.
+Defaults to true.
+
+=item B<--disable-{dce,simplifycfg}>
+
+Do not run the specified passes to clean up and reduce the size of the test
+program. By default, B<bugpoint> uses these passes internally when attempting to
+reduce test programs.  If you're trying to find a bug in one of these passes,
+B<bugpoint> may crash.
+
+=item B<--enable-valgrind>
+
+Use valgrind to find faults in the optimization phase. This will allow
+bugpoint to find otherwise asymptomatic problems caused by memory
+mis-management.
+
+=item B<-find-bugs>
+
+Continually randomize the specified passes and run them on the test program
+until a bug is found or the user kills B<bugpoint>. 
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Print a summary of command line options.
+
+=item B<--input> F<filename>
+
+Open F<filename> and redirect the standard input of the test program, whenever
+it runs, to come from that file.
+
+=item B<--load> F<plugin>
+
+Load the dynamic object F<plugin> into B<bugpoint> itself.  This object should
+register new optimization passes.  Once loaded, the object will add new command
+line options to enable various optimizations.  To see the new complete list of
+optimizations, use the B<--help> and B<--load> options together; for example:
+
+    bugpoint --load myNewPass.so --help
+
+=item B<--mlimit> F<megabytes>
+
+Specifies an upper limit on memory usage of the optimization and codegen. Set
+to zero to disable the limit.
+
+=item B<--output> F<filename>
+
+Whenever the test program produces output on its standard output stream, it
+should match the contents of F<filename> (the "reference output"). If you
+do not use this option, B<bugpoint> will attempt to generate a reference output
+by compiling the program with the C backend and running it.
+
+=item B<--profile-info-file> F<filename>
+
+Profile file loaded by B<--profile-loader>.
+
+=item B<--run-{int,jit,llc,cbe}>
+
+Whenever the test program is compiled, B<bugpoint> should generate code for it
+using the specified code generator.  These options allow you to choose the
+interpreter, the JIT compiler, the static native code compiler, or the C
+backend, respectively.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXIT STATUS
+
+If B<bugpoint> succeeds in finding a problem, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise,
+if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
