# LLVM Command Guide

## Overview

This document is the reference manual for the LLVM utilities. It will show you how to use the LLVM commands and what all of their options are.

## LLVM Base Commands

llvm-as
  Assemble a human-readable LLVM program into LLVM bytecode.

llvm-dis
  Disassemble an LLVM bytecode file into human-readable form.

analyze
  Analyze an LLVM bytecode file.

opt
  Optimize an LLVM bytecode file.

link
  Link several LLVM bytecode files together into one LLVM bytecode file.

llc
  Compile an LLVM bytecode program into native machine code.
lli
  Run an LLVM bytecode program using either an interpreter or a JIT compiler.

## LLVM Debugging Tools

bugpoint
  Trace an LLVM bytecode program and reduce its failure to a simple testcase.

extract
  Extract a function from an LLVM bytecode file.

## LLVM GCC Support Commands

gccas
  LLVM assembler used by GCC and other native compiler tools.

gccld
  LLVM linker used by GCC and other native compiler tools.
