18The **llvm-lib** command is intended to be a ``lib.exe`` compatible
19tool. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ykb2k5f for the
20general description.

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).
