.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBllvm\-link\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIfilename ...\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBllvm\-link\fP takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together into a
single LLVM bitcode file.  It writes the output file to standard output, unless
the \fB\-o\fP option is used to specify a filename.
.sp
\fBllvm\-link\fP 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
\fB\-L\fP 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.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
\fB\-L\fP \fIdirectory\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Add the specified \fIdirectory\fP to the library search path.  When looking for
libraries, \fBllvm\-link\fP will look in path name for libraries.  This option can be
specified multiple times; \fBllvm\-link\fP will search inside these directories in
the order in which they were specified on the command line.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-f\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Enable binary output on terminals.  Normally, \fBllvm\-link\fP will refuse to
write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
\fBllvm\-link\fP will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-o\fP \fIfilename\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Specify the output file name.  If \fIfilename\fP is \fB\-\fP, then \fBllvm\-link\fP will
write its output to standard output.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-S\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode).
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-d\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
If specified, \fBllvm\-link\fP prints a human\-readable version of the output
bitcode file to standard error.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-help\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Print a summary of command line options.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-v\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Verbose mode.  Print information about what \fBllvm\-link\fP is doing.  This
typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each
library found.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH EXIT STATUS
.sp
If \fBllvm\-link\fP succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non\-zero value.
