SYNOPSIS
--------
-
-**llvm-link** [*options*] *filename ...*
-
+:program:`llvm-link` [*options*] *filename ...*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+:program:`llvm-link` takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together
+into a single LLVM bitcode file. It writes the output file to standard output,
+unless the :option:`-o` option is used to specify a filename.
-**llvm-link** takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together into a
-single LLVM bitcode file. It writes the output file to standard output, unless
-the **-o** option is used to specify a filename.
-
-**llvm-link** attempts to load the input files from the current directory. If
-that fails, it looks for each file in each of the directories specified by the
-**-L** options on the command line. The library search paths are global; each
-one is searched for every input file if necessary. The directories are searched
-in the order they were specified on the command line.

OPTIONS
-------
+.. option:: -L directory
+ Add the specified ``directory`` to the library search path. When looking for
+ libraries, :program:`llvm-link` will look in path name for libraries. This
+ option can be specified multiple times; :program:`llvm-link` will search
+ inside these directories in the order in which they were specified on the
+ command line.
-**-L** *directory*
-
- Add the specified *directory* to the library search path. When looking for
- libraries, **llvm-link** will look in path name for libraries. This option can be
- specified multiple times; **llvm-link** will search inside these directories in
- the order in which they were specified on the command line.
-
-
-
-**-f**
-
- Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, **llvm-link** will refuse to
- write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
- **llvm-link** will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.

+ device.
- Specify the output file name. If *filename* is ``-``, then **llvm-link** will
- write its output to standard output.
+.. option:: -o filename
+ Specify the output file name. If ``filename`` is "``-``", then
+ :program:`llvm-link` will write its output to standard output.
-
-**-S**
+.. option:: -S
Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode).
+.. option:: -d

+ If specified, :program:`llvm-link` prints a human-readable version of the output

-**-help**
+.. option:: -help
Print a summary of command line options.
