-llvm-link - LLVM linker
-=======================

+llvm-link - LLVM bitcode linker
+===============================
 
 SYNOPSIS
 --------
 
-
-**llvm-link** [*options*] *filename ...*
-
+:program:`llvm-link` [*options*] *filename ...*
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-
-**llvm-link** takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together into a
-single LLVM bitcode file.  It writes the output file to standard output, unless
-the **-o** option is used to specify a filename.
-
-**llvm-link** attempts to load the input files from the current directory.  If
-that fails, it looks for each file in each of the directories specified by the
-**-L** options on the command line.  The library search paths are global; each
-one is searched for every input file if necessary.  The directories are searched
-in the order they were specified on the command line.

+:program:`llvm-link` takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together
+into a single LLVM bitcode file.  It writes the output file to standard output,
+unless the :option:`-o` option is used to specify a filename.
 
 OPTIONS
 -------
 
+.. option:: -f
 
+ Enable binary output on terminals.  Normally, :program:`llvm-link` will refuse
+ to write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this
+ option, :program:`llvm-link` will write raw bitcode regardless of the output
+ device.
 
-**-L** *directory*
-
- Add the specified *directory* to the library search path.  When looking for
- libraries, **llvm-link** will look in path name for libraries.  This option can be
- specified multiple times; **llvm-link** will search inside these directories in
- the order in which they were specified on the command line.
-
-
-
-**-f**
-
- Enable binary output on terminals.  Normally, **llvm-link** will refuse to
- write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
- **llvm-link** will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.
-
-
-
-**-o** *filename*
-
- Specify the output file name.  If *filename* is ``-``, then **llvm-link** will
- write its output to standard output.
+.. option:: -o filename
 
+ Specify the output file name.  If ``filename`` is "``-``", then
+ :program:`llvm-link` will write its output to standard output.
 
-
-**-S**
+.. option:: -S
 
  Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode).
 
+.. option:: -d
 
+ If specified, :program:`llvm-link` prints a human-readable version of the
+ output bitcode file to standard error.
 
-**-d**
-
- If specified, **llvm-link** prints a human-readable version of the output
- bitcode file to standard error.
-
-
-
-**-help**
+.. option:: -help
 
  Print a summary of command line options.
 
+.. option:: -v
 
-
-**-v**
-
- Verbose mode.  Print information about what **llvm-link** is doing.  This
- typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each
+ Verbose mode.  Print information about what :program:`llvm-link` is doing.
+ This typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each
  library found.
