+llvm-locstats - calculate statistics on DWARF debug location
+============================================================
+
+.. program:: llvm-locstats
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+:program:`llvm-locstats` [*options*] [*filename*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+:program:`llvm-locstats` works like a wrapper around :program:`llvm-dwarfdump`.
+It parses :program:`llvm-dwarfdump` statistics regarding debug location by
+pretty printing it in a more human readable way.
+
+The line 0% shows the number and the percentage of DIEs with no location
+information, but the line 100% shows the information for DIEs where there is
+location information in all code section bytes (where the variable or parameter
+is in the scope). The line 50-59% shows the number and the percentage of DIEs
+where the location information is between 50 and 59 percentage of its scope
+covered.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+.. option:: -only-variables
+
+ Calculate the location statistics only for local variables.
+
+.. option:: -only-formal-parameters
+
+ Calculate the location statistics only for formal parameters.
+
+.. option:: -ignore-debug-entry-values
+
+ Ignore the location statistics on locations containing the
+ debug entry values DWARF operation.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+:program:`llvm-locstats` returns 0 if the input file were parsed
+successfully. Otherwise, it returns 1.
+
+OUTPUT EXAMPLE
