9DESCRIPTION
10-----------
11
Dmitri Gribenkocbb07be2012-11-29 17:41:05 +0000[diff] [blame]12:program:`tblgen` translates from target description (``.td``) files into C++
13code that can be included in the definition of an LLVM target library. Most
14users of LLVM will not need to use this program. It is only for assisting with
15writing an LLVM target backend.
