💖 NAME 💖

llvm-rtdyld — bestie, it's literally the manual page for llvm-rtdyld 20 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: it's the llvm MC-JIT tool and it's here to load, link and then straight-up run your code. main character energy fr fr 💅

Here's the whole vibe, exactly how it goes:

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

and then there's OPTIONS 👑 — which, yes, get their own little categories, because we're organized like that.

🎀 Color Options 🎀

  • --color — turns on colors in the output. cute, right? (default=autodetect, so it peeks at your terminal and decides for itself 🙈)

✨ Generic Options ✨

  • --help — shows you all the available options, bestie. (there's --help-hidden for even more, if you're nosy like me 😭)
  • --help-list — prints out the list of available options. (--help-list-hidden if you want the hidden ones too 💀)
  • --version — tells you which version of this program you're running. slay.

🧚 RTDyld Options 🧚

  • --args <string>... — the <program arguments>... that get passed along.
  • --check=<string> — points at a file that contains the RuntimeDyld verifier checks. vibe check but make it runtime 💖
  • --dylib=<string> — adds a library. yes, more libraries, always.
  • --entry=<string> — the function to call as the entry point. the one who gets to go first 👑
  • --mcpu=<cpu-name> — targets a specific cpu type. (psst: -mcpu=help for the details 🫶)
  • --preallocate=<ulong> — allocates memory upfront instead of on-demand. no cap, it's just getting it over with early ✨

🔥 Action to perform: 🔥

  • --execute — loads, links, and executes the inputs. we're doing this. sorry not sorry 🦋
  • --printline — loads, links, and prints line information for each function.
  • --printdebugline — loads, links, and prints line information for each function using the debug object.
  • --printobjline — like -printlineinfo but does not load the object first. (yes, that's exactly how it's spelled, i don't make the rules 😭)
  • --verify — loads, links and verifies the resulting memory image. trust but verify, bestie 💅
  • --show-times — shows the times for llvm-rtdyld phases. clock her ⏰
  • --triple=<string> — the target triple for the disassembler.
ngl there are no warnings, no bug notes and no SEE ALSO on this one, so like... that's the whole page? iconic behavior actually 🌈

that's the tea, bestie 💜 this was llvm-rtdyld 20, hanging out under LLVM-RTDYLD(1), dated September 2026 — go forth and JIT responsibly, periodt 🎀✨
