| 32 | <p>This document describes the LLVM bitcode file format. It specifies |
| 33 | the binary encoding rules of the bitcode file format so that |
| 34 | equivalent systems can encode bitcode files correctly. The LLVM |
| 35 | bitcode representation is used to store the intermediate |
| 36 | representation on disk in a compacted form.</p> |
| 37 | <p>This document supercedes the LLVM bytecode file format for the 2.0 |
| 38 | release.</p> |
