okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for llvm-objdump 13 — the iconic object file dumper that's literally about to be your new fave 💖. this is the LLVM-OBJDUMP(1) page, and it's giving main character energy for all your object file needs.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

OVERVIEW: llvm object file dumper — that's the whole vibe, no cap.

here's the usage, bestie:

USAGE: llvm-objdump [options] <input object files>

like, you give it options and input object files, and it dumps. iconic.
