| SYNOPSIS |

| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| The **llvm-lib** command is intended to be a ``lib.exe`` compatible |
| tool. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ykb2k5f for the |
| general description. |
| |
| **llvm-lib** has the following extensions: |
| |
| * Bitcode files in symbol tables. |
| **llvm-lib** includes symbols from both bitcode files and regular |
| object files in the symbol table. |
| |
| * Creating thin archives. |
| The /llvmlibthin option causes **llvm-lib** to create thin archive |
| that contain only the symbol table and the header for the various |
| members. These files are much smaller, but are not compatible with |
| link.exe (lld can handle them). |
