+<p>This document describes the LLVM bitcode file format. It specifies
+the binary encoding rules of the bitcode file format so that
+equivalent systems can encode bitcode files correctly. The LLVM
+bitcode representation is used to store the intermediate
+representation on disk in a compacted form.</p>
+<p>This document supercedes the LLVM bytecode file format for the 2.0
+release.</p>
