LLVM Command Guide

The following documents are command descriptions for all of the LLVM tools.These pages describe how to use the LLVM commands and what their options are.Note that these pages do not describe all of the options available for alltools. To get a complete listing, pass the —help (general options) or—help-hidden (general and debugging options) arguments to the tool you areinterested in.

Basic Commands

• llvm-as - LLVM assembler
• llvm-dis - LLVM disassembler
• opt - LLVM optimizer
• llc - LLVM static compiler
• lli - directly execute programs from LLVM bitcode
• llvm-link - LLVM bitcode linker
• llvm-lib - LLVM lib.exe compatible library tool
• llvm-lipo - LLVM tool for manipulating universal binaries
• llvm-config - Print LLVM compilation options
• llvm-cxxmap - Mangled name remapping tool
• llvm-diff - LLVM structural ‘diff’
• llvm-cov - emit coverage information
• llvm-profdata - Profile data tool

GNU binutils replacements

• llvm-addr2line - a drop-in replacement for addr2line
