| # llvm-lib - LLVM lib.exe compatible library tool | |
| ```{program} llvm-lib | |
| ``` | |
| ## SYNOPSIS | |
| **llvm-lib** [/libpath:\<path>] [/out:\<output>] [/llvmlibthin] | |
| [/ignore] [/machine] [/nologo] [files...] | |
| ## 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). | |
