LLVM-RTDYLD(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so like — llvm-rtdyld, which is literally the manual page for llvm-rtdyld 14. that's the whole vibe. she's a tool, she has a manual, we're reading it together. periodt. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

OVERVIEW: llvm MC-JIT tool

USAGE: here's the shape of how you call her, no cap:

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

so like, [options] first if you're feeling fancy, then your <input files>, and if you wanna pass stuff to the actual program you're running you do --args <program arguments>... at the end. slay. 💅

OPTIONS: okay this is the main character section, buckle up 🎀

🌈 Color Options 🌈

• --color — use colors in output, and the default is autodetect so she'll figure out on her own whether your terminal can handle the aesthetic. she's smart like that. ✨

💜 Generic Options 💜

• --help — shows you all the available options (and if you're extra, --help-hidden gets you more)
• --help-list — prints out a whole list of the available options (again, --help-list-hidden for more, iykyk)
• --version — tells you which version of this program you're running. vibe check your install bestie 💅

🔥 RTDyld Options 🔥

• --args <string>... — <program arguments>... — yeah she's just holding your program arguments for you, no thoughts, just carrying them 🫶
• --check=<string> — file containing RuntimeDyld verifier checks. so you hand her a file, she checks the things. very responsible of her.
• --dylib=<string> — add library. simple as that. more libraries, more power. 👑
• --entry=<string> — the function to call as the entry point. like, where do we start, bestie? here. right here.
• --mcpu=<cpu-name> — target a specific cpu type (and if you're lost, -mcpu=help has the details, she'll tell you what's available) 💖
• --preallocate=<ulong> — allocate memory upfront instead of on-demand. she's getting everything ready ahead of time, so organized, so iconic. ✨
• --show-times — show times for llvm-rtdyld phases. little timer moment for each phase, we love transparency.
• --triple=<string> — target triple for disassembler. give her the triple, she knows what to do. 🦋

🎀 Action to perform: 🎀

okay so this is the "what do you actually want me to DO" section, pick one of these besties:

• --execute — load, link, and execute the inputs. the full send. 🔥
• --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. (yes, exactly like that, we don't ask questions, we just copy it verbatim 💀)
• --verify — load, link and verify the resulting memory image. she's checking her work, as she should. 💅

ngl bestie, that's the whole page. every option, every default, every --flag accounted for. nothing skipped, nothing invented. we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

✨ that's it, that's the manpage, go forth and llvm-rtdyld ✨
