Okay so real talk, this is llvm-link from the LLVM fam, and it's literally the glue that holds your bitcode together 🫶

💅 SYNOPSIS

llvm-link [options] filename ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION

So llvm-link takes a bunch of LLVM bitcode files and links them all together into one single LLVM bitcode file. Iconic behavior, honestly. It writes that output file to standard output — unless you use the -o option to name a filename, because sometimes you want to be in control 💁‍♀️

🎀 OPTIONS

  • -f — Enables binary output on terminals, no cap. Normally llvm-link will straight-up refuse to write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal (it's giving overprotective 😭). With this option though, llvm-link will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device. Chaotic but valid.
  • -o filename — Specifies the output file name, bestie. And if filename is "-", then llvm-link will write its output to standard output. Simple as that ✨
  • -S — Writes output in LLVM intermediate language instead of bitcode. For when you want to actually read the vibes 👀
  • -d — If specified, llvm-link prints a human-readable version of the output bitcode file to standard error. Lowkey useful for debugging, ngl.
  • -help — Prints a summary of command line options. The classic "wait what were the flags again" moment 🙈
  • -v — Verbose mode, periodt. Prints information about what llvm-link is doing, which typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each library found. Main character energy: it narrates its own life 💅

🔥 EXIT STATUS

If llvm-link succeeds, it will exit with 0 — slay 💖 Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. F in the chat when that happens 😭
