| 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The **llvm-lib** command is intended to be a ``lib.exe`` compatible |
| 19 | tool. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ykb2k5f for the |
| 20 | general description. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **llvm-lib** has the following extensions: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * Bitcode files in symbol tables. |
| 25 | **llvm-lib** includes symbols from both bitcode files and regular |
| 26 | object files in the symbol table. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * Creating thin archives. |
| 29 | The /llvmlibthin option causes **llvm-lib** to create thin archive |
| 30 | that contain only the symbol table and the header for the various |
| 31 | members. These files are much smaller, but are not compatible with |
| 32 | link.exe (lld can handle them). |
