💖 llvm-rtdyld — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about llvm-rtdyld from the llvm family (this page is for version 13, so keep that in mind 🫶). It's a User Command, it lives in section 1 of the manual, and it is lowkey iconic in a very specific nerd way. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

llvm-rtdyld — manual page for llvm-rtdyld 13

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

OVERVIEW: llvm MC-JIT tool

USAGE:

llvm-rtdyld [options] <input files> --args <program arguments>...

OPTIONS:

no cap, there are a LOT of them, and we're doing every single one. sit down, hydrate, we got this 💅

🎀 Color Options 🎀

  • --color — use colors in output. and the default is literally default=autodetect, so it figures it out for itself like the independent queen it is 👑

⭐ Generic Options ⭐

  • --help — display available options. and if that's not enough for you (greedy, love that), there's --help-hidden for more 👀
  • --help-list — display the list of available options. and yep, --help-list-hidden exists for more of the same
  • --version — display the version of this program. short, sweet, to the point 🍓

💜 RTDyld Options 💜

  • --args <string>... — <program arguments>...
  • --check=<string> — file containing RuntimeDyld verifier checks.
  • --dylib=<string> — add library.
  • --entry=<string> — function to call as entry point.
  • --mcpu=<cpu-name> — target a specific cpu type. and if you're lost, -mcpu=help has details 🧚
  • --preallocate=<ulong> — allocate memory upfront rather than on-demand.
  • --show-times — show times for llvm-rtdyld phases ⏱️
  • --triple=<string> — target triple for disassembler.

✨ Action to perform: ✨

pick your main character moment, bestie — these decide what the tool actually DOES:

  • --execute — load, link, and execute the inputs.
  • --printline — load, link, and print line information for each function.
  • --printdebugline — load, link, and print line information for each function using the debug object.
  • --printobjline — like -printlineinfo but does not load the object first.
  • --verify — load, link and verify the resulting memory image.
heads up bestie: these actions are mutually exclusive vibes — you're choosing ONE thing to do, so don't go picking all five like it's a build-your-own-bowl situation 🙈

and that's the whole page, fr fr. every flag, every default, every action, all accounted for. nothing skipped, nothing invented, we ate and left no crumbs 🍽️✨
