=head1 NAME

llvmc - The LLVM Compiler Driver (WIP)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<llvmc> [I<options>] I<filenames...>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<llvmc> is a configurable driver for invoking other LLVM (and non-LLVM) tools
in order to compile, optimize and link software for multiple languages. For
those familiar with FSF's B<gcc> tool, it is very similar.  Please note that
B<llvmc> is considered an experimental tool.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<--help>

Print a summary of command line options.

=item B<-o> I<filename>

Specify the output file to be I<filename>.

=item B<-I> I<directory>

Add a directory to the header file search path.  This option can be
repeated.

=item B<-L> I<directory>

Add I<directory> to the library search path.  This option can be
repeated.

=item B<-l>I<name>

Link in the library libI<name>.[bc | a | so].  This library should
be a bitcode library.

=item B<-emit-llvm>

Make the output be LLVM bitcode (with B<-c>) or assembly (with B<-s>) instead
of native object (or assembly).  If B<-emit-llvm> is given without either B<-c>
or B<-S> it has no effect.

=back

=head1 EXIT STATUS

If B<llvmc> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. If one of the compilation
tools returns a non-zero status, pending actions will be discarded and
B<llvmc> will return the same result code as the failing compilation
tool.
