LLVM-EXTRACT(1) LLVM LLVM-EXTRACT(1)
NAME
llvm-extract - extract a function from an LLVM module
SYNOPSIS
llvm-extract [options] -func function-name [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The llvm-extract command takes the name of a function and extracts it
from the specified LLVM bitcode file. It is primarily used as a debug-
ging tool to reduce test cases from larger programs that are triggering
a bug.
In addition to extracting the bitcode of the specified function,
llvm-extract will also remove unreachable global variables, prototypes,
and unused types.
The llvm-extract command reads its input from standard input if file-
name is omitted or if filename is -. The output is always written to
standard output, unless the -o option is specified (see below).
OPTIONS
-f
Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, llvm-extract will
refuse to write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a termi-
nal. With this option, llvm-extract will write raw bitcode regard-
less of the output device.
-func function-name
Extract the function named function-name from the LLVM bitcode. May
be specified multiple times to extract multiple functions at once.
-rfunc function-regular-expr
Extract the function(s) matching function-regular-expr from the LLVM
bitcode. All functions matching the regular expression will be ex-
tracted. May be specified multiple times.
-glob global-name
Extract the global variable named global-name from the LLVM bitcode.
May be specified multiple times to extract multiple global variables
at once.
-rglob glob-regular-expr
Extract the global variable(s) matching global-regular-expr from the
LLVM bitcode. All global variables matching the regular expression
will be extracted. May be specified multiple times.
-help
Print a summary of command line options.
-o filename
Specify the output filename. If filename is "-" (the default), then
llvm-extract sends its output to standard output.
-S
Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode).
EXIT STATUS
If llvm-extract succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
