OVERVIEW: LLVM TAPI file reader and transformer

USAGE: USAGE: llvm-readtapi <command> [-arch <architecture> <options>]* <inputs> [-o <output>]*

COMMANDS:
  -compare compare tapi files for library differences
  -extract extract <architecture> from input file
  -merge   merge the input files that represent the same library
  -remove  remove <architecture> from input file
  -stubify create a tapi file from a dynamic library or framework

OPTIONS:
  --arch=<architecture> specify the <architecture>
  -compact              write compact tapi output file
  -delete-input         delete and replace input file on success
  -delete-private-libraries
                        delete private system dynamic libraries and frameworks
  --filetype=<value>    specify the output file type (tbd-v3, tbd-v4 or tbd-v5)
  -help                 display this help
  --ignore-arch=<architecture>
                        <architecture> slice to ignore for comparison
  --o=<file>            write output to <file>
  -t                    logs each library loaded, useful for debugging problems with search paths where the wrong library is loaded
  -version              print the llvm-readtapi version
  -v                    alias for --version
