 :program:`lit` provides various patterns that can be used with the RUN command.
 These are defined in TestRunner.py. The base set of substitutions are:
 
- ========== ==============
-  Macro      Substitution
- ========== ==============
- %s         source path (path to the file currently being run)
- %S         source dir (directory of the file currently being run)

    Example: ``/home/user/llvm.build/test/MC/ELF/Output``
 
+``%{shared_output(LABEL)}``
+   File path to a temporary file name shared across all tests, identified by
+   LABEL. This is useful as a cache for generated resources.

    Expands to the path separator, i.e. ``:`` (or ``;`` on Windows).
