<h3>
NAME
</h3>

lli

<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>

lli [options] [filename] [args ...]
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>

The lli command is the LLVM interpreter.  It takes a program in LLVM bytecode
format and executes it using an interpreter or a Just In Time (JIT) compiler.
<p>

If filename is not specified, then lli reads its input from standard input.
<p>
The optional arguments specified on the command line are passed to the executed
program as arguments.
<p>

<h3>
MAIN FUNCTION
</h3>

The main() function of the bytecode program is where execution starts.  It
is passed three arguments:

<ul>
    <li>
    int argc - The number of command line arguments.
    <p>

    <li>
    char ** argv - The arguments to the program.
    <p>

    <li>
    char ** envp - An array of environment variables used by the program.
</ul>

The first argument to the program is the name of the executed bytecode file
(with the .bc suffix removed).

<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>

<ul>
	<li> -array-checks
	<br>
	Enable array bound checks.
	<p>

	<li> -help
	<br>
	Print a summary of command line options.
	<p>

	<li> -disable-fp-elim
	<br>
	Disable frame pointer elimination optimization.
	<p>

	<li> -stats
	<br>
	Print statistics.
	<p>

	<li> -time-passes
	<br>
	Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
	error.
	<p>
</ul>

<h3>
EXIT STATUS
</h3>

If lli succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
will exit with a non-zero value.
