okay so bestie, welcome to LLVM-LINK(1), the manual page for the LLVM bitcode linker from LLVM 🫶✨ this one is short, useful, and lowkey iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

llvm-link — the LLVM bitcode linker, fr fr 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

llvm-link [options] filename …

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: llvm-link takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together into a single LLVM bitcode file 🎀✨ it's giving "bring the whole squad together" energy, no cap.

it writes the output file to standard output, unless the -o option is used to specify a filename 💖 so yeah, default vibe is stdout.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -f — enables binary output on terminals. normally, llvm-link will refuse to write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal 😤 with this option, llvm-link will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device. dramatic? maybe. useful? yes 💀
  • -o filename — specify the output file name. if filename is -, then llvm-link will write its output to standard output 🫶
  • -S — write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode). cute format switch, iykyk ✨
  • -d — if specified, llvm-link prints a human-readable version of the output bitcode file to standard error 👀
  • -help — print a summary of command line options 🎀
  • -v — verbose mode. print information about what llvm-link is doing. this typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each library found 🌈

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

if llvm-link succeeds, it will exit with 0 ✅ otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value 😭 no in-between, bestie, the vibe check is strict.
