Subject: Added information on how input and output files are selected. Added
 information on where files are located by llvm-link. Added missing options.
 Re-worded some stuff so that it (hopefully) sounds better.

 DESCRIPTION
 </h3>
 
-The llvm-link command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them together into a single LLVM bytecode file.
+The llvm-link command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them together
+into a single LLVM bytecode file.  It writes the output file to standard
+output, unless the -o option is used to specify a filename.
+<p>
+
+The llvm-link command attempts to load the input files from the current
+directory.  If that fails, it attempts to locate each file within the
+directories specified by the -L options on the command line.  The library
+search paths are global; each one is search for every input file if necessary.
+The directories are searched in the order they were specified on the command
+line.
