LLVM-RTDYLD(1)

💖 LLVM-RTDYLD 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about llvm-rtdyld — that's the manual page name, the whole vibe, the moment. it lives in the User Commands section and it is so much cooler than it sounds, no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

llvm-rtdyld — manual page for llvm-rtdyld 18

like... the tool is literally called llvm-rtdyld and this is its manual page, for version 18. that's it, that's the name, periodt. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

OVERVIEW: llvm MC-JIT tool 👑

USAGE:

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

so you hand it some <input files>, you throw [options] at it, and if you want your program to get its own little arguments you pass them after --args as <program arguments>.... it's giving "load, link, do the thing." main character energy fr fr. 🎀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

🌈 Color Options 🌈

• --color — Use colors in output (default=autodetect). yes queen, the output can be pretty, and by default it just autodetects whether it should bother. 💅

🧚 Generic Options 🧚

• --help — Display available options (there's --help-hidden if you want more, iykyk).
• --help-list — Display list of available options (and yep, --help-list-hidden for more, because of course).
• --version — Display the version of this program. know your version, bestie. ⭐

🍓 RTDyld Options 🍓

• --args <string>... — <program arguments>... — the args your program gets, pls don't lose them.
• --check=<string> — File containing RuntimeDyld verifier checks. it's literally the file full of checks, go off. 🔥
• --dylib=<string> — Add library. one library, added, done.
• --entry=<string> — Function to call as entry point. the main character of your code, if you will. 👑
• --mcpu=<cpu-name> — Target a specific cpu type (-mcpu=help for details). not sure which cpu? pass -mcpu=help and it'll spill the tea.
• --preallocate=<ulong> — Allocate memory upfront rather than on-demand. like meal-prepping but for memory. 🥗

⭐ Action to perform: ⭐

• --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.
• --show-times — Show times for llvm-rtdyld phases. ⏱️ clocking the phases, obsessed.
• --triple=<string> — Target triple for disassembler

okay tiny heads-up bestie: you gotta pick what you want it to do — that little "Action to perform:" squad up there? that's the menu of moves. don't come for me, that's just how the page is laid out. 🙈
