=head1 NAME
llvm-link - LLVM linker
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<llvm-link> [I<options>] I<filename ...>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<llvm-link> 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 B<-o> option is used to specify a filename.
The B<llvm-link> 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 B<-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.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<-L> F<directory>
Add the specified F<directory> to the library search path. When looking for
libraries, B<llvm-link> will look in pathname for libraries. This option can be
specified multiple times; B<llvm-link> will search inside these directories in
the order in which they were specified on the command line.
=item B<-f>
Overwrite output files. By default, B<llvm-link> will not overwrite an output
file if it alreadys exists.
=item B<-o> F<filename>
Specify the output file name. If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-link> will
write its output to standard output.
=item B<-d>
If specified, B<llvm-link> prints a human-readable version of the output
bytecode file to standard error.
=item B<--help>
Print a summary of command line options.
=item B<-v>
Verbose mode. Print information about what B<llvm-link> is doing. This
typically includes a message for each bytecode file linked in and for each
library found.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
If B<llvm-link> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
