 <h3>
 NAME
 </h3>

 llc

 <h3>
 SYNOPSIS
 </h3>

 llc [options] [filename]
 <h3>
 DESCRIPTION
 </h3>

 The llc command compiles LLVM bytecode into assembly language for a specified
 architecture.  The assembly language output can then be passed through a native
 assembler and linker to generate native code.
 <p>
 The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is determined as
 follows:

 <ul>
 	<li>
 	If the user has specified an architecture with the -m option, use that
 	architecture.
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	Examine the input LLVM bytecode file:
 	<ul>
 		<li>
 		If it specifies little endian and a pointer size of 32 bits, select the
 		x86 architecture.
 		<p>

 		<li>
 		If it specifies big endian and a pointer size of 64 bit pointers,
 		select the SparcV9 architecture.
 	</ul>
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	If llc was compiled on an architecture for which it can generate code,
 	select the architecture upon which llc was compiled.
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	Print a message to the user asking him or her to specify the output
 	architecture explicitly.
 </ul>

 <p>

 If filename is not specified, or if filename is -, llc reads its input from
 standard input.  Otherwise, it will read its input from filename.
 <p>

 If the -o option is left unspecified, then llc will send its output to standard
 output if the input is from standard input.  If the -o option specifies -, then
 the output will also be sent to standard output.
 <p>

 If no -o option is specified and an input file other than - is specified, then
 llc creates the output filename as follows:

 <ul>
 	<li>
 	If the file ends in .bc, then the .bc suffix is removed, and the .s suffix
 	is appended.
 	<p>
 	<li>
 	Otherwise, the .s suffix is appended to the input filename.
 </ul>

 will exit with a non-zero value.
