+<h3>
+NAME

+
+llvmgcc
+
+<h3>
+SYNOPSIS
+</h3>
+
+llvmgcc [options] filename
+<h3>
+DESCRIPTION
+</h3>
+
+The llvmgcc command is the LLVM C front end. It is a modified version of GCC
+that takes C programs and compiles them into LLVM bytecode or assembly
+language, depending upon the options.
+<p>
+
+The llvmgcc program uses the LLVM assembler gccas and the LLVM linker gccld to
+do the work of creating complete programs.
+<p>
+
+Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, llvmgcc has many of gcc's
+features and accepts most of gcc's options. It handles a number of gcc's
+extensions to the C programming language.
+<p>
+
+Below you will find several commonly used options:
+
+<h3>
+OPTIONS
+</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> -S
+ <br>
+ Do not generate an LLVM bytecode file. Rather, compile the source file
+ into an LLVM assembly language file.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> -c
+ <br>
+ Do not generate a linked bytecode executable. Rather, compile the source
+ file into an LLVM bytecode file. This bytecode file can then be linked
+ with other bytecode files later to generate a full LLVM executable.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> -o <i>filename</i>
+ <br>
+ Specify the output file to be <i>filename</i>. If <i>filename</i> is -,
+ then llvmgcc sends its output to standard output.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> -I <i>directory</i>
+ <br>
+ Add a directory to the header file search path. This option can be
+ repeated.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> -L <i>directory</i>
+ <br>
+ Add <i>directory</i> to the library search path. This option can be
+ repeated.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> -l<i>name</i>
+ <br>
+ Link in the library lib<i>name</i>.[bc | a | so]. This library should be
+ a bytecode library.
+ <p>
+
+ <li>-Wl,<i>option</i>
+ <br>
+ Pass <i>option</i> to the linker (usually gccld).
+ <p>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>
+EXIT STATUS
+</h3>
+
+If llvmgcc succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
+will exit with a non-zero value.
