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.
+The <tt>llvmgcc</tt> command is the LLVM C front end. It is a modified version
+of the <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">GNU Compiler Collection</a> (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.
+The <tt>llvmgcc</tt> program uses the <a href="gccas.html"><tt>gccas</tt></a>
+and <a href="gccld.html"><tt>gccld</tt></a> programs 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.

Below you will find several commonly used options:
<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.
+ Specify the output file to be <i>filename</i>.
<p>
<li> -I <i>directory</i>
<li> -l<i>name</i>
<br>
- Link in the library lib<i>name</i>.[bc | a | so]. This library should be
- a bytecode library.
+ Link in the library lib<i>name</i>.[bc | a | so]. This library should

<p>
<li>-Wl,<i>option</i>
<br>
- Pass <i>option</i> to the linker (usually gccld).
+ Pass <i>option</i> to the linker program, <a

-If llvmgcc succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
-will exit with a non-zero value.
