<h3>NAME</h3>
<tt>llvm-link</tt>
<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
<tt>llvm-link [options] <filename> [filename ...]</tt>
<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
The <tt>llvm-link</tt> command takes several LLVM bytecode files and links them
together into a single LLVM bytecode file. It writes the output file to
standard output, unless the -o option is used to specify a filename.
<p>
The <tt>llvm-link</tt> command attempts to load the input files from the current
directory. If that fails, it looks for each file in each of the
directories specified by the -L options on the command line. The library search
paths are global; each one is searched for every input file if necessary. The
directories are searched in the order they were specified on the command line.
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li>-L <directory>
<br>
Add the specified directory to the library search path. When looking
for libraries, <tt>llvm-link</tt> will look in pathname for libraries.
This option can be specified multiple times; <tt>llvm-link</tt> will
search inside these directories in the order in which they were
specified on the command line.
<p>
<li>-f
<br>
Overwrite output files. By default, <tt>llvm-link</tt> will not
overwrite an output file if it alreadys exists.
<p>
<li>-o <filename>
<br>
Output filename. If filename is -, then <tt>llvm-link</tt> will write
its output to standard output.
<p>
<li>-d
<br>
If specified, <tt>llvm-link</tt> prints a human-readable version of the
output bytecode file to standard error.
<p>
<li>-help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li>-v
<br>
Verbose mode. Print information about what <tt>llvm-link</tt> is doing.
This typically includes a message for each bytecode file linked in
and for each library found.
</ul>
<h3>
EXIT STATUS
</h3>
If <tt>llvm-link</tt> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
