NAME

       llvm-libtool-darwin - LLVM tool for creating libraries for Darwin

SYNOPSIS

       llvm-libtool-darwin [options] <input files>

DESCRIPTION

       llvm-libtool-darwin is a tool for creating static and dynamic libraries for Darwin.

       For most scenarios, it works as a drop-in replacement for cctools' libtool.

OPTIONS

       llvm-libtool-darwin supports the following options:

       -arch_only <architecture>
              Build a static library only for the specified <architecture> and ignore all other architectures in
              the files.

       -D     Use zero for timestamps and UIDs/GIDs. This is set by default.

       -filelist <listfile[,dirname]>
              Read input file names from <listfile>. File names  are  specified  in  <listfile>  one  per  line,
              separated  only  by  newlines.  Whitespace on a line is assumed to be part of the filename. If the
              directory name, dirname, is also specified  then  it  is  prepended  to  each  file  name  in  the
              <listfile>.

       -h, -help
              Show help and usage for this command.

       -l <x> Searches for the library libx.a in the library search path. If the string <x> ends with '.o', then
              the library 'x' is searched for without prepending 'lib' or appending  '.a'.  If  the  library  is
              found, it is added to the list of input files. Otherwise, an error is raised.

       -L <dir>
              Adds  <dir>  to  the  list  of  directories  in which to search for libraries. The directories are
              searched in the order in which they are specified with -L and before the default search path.  The
              default search path includes directories /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib.

       -no_warning_for_no_symbols
              Do not warn about files that have no symbols.

       -warnings_as_errors
              Produce a non-zero exit status if any warnings are emitted.

       -o <filename>
              Specify the output file name. Must be specified exactly once.

       -static
              Produces a static library from the input files.

       -U     Use actual timestamps and UIDs/GIDs.

       -V     Display the version of this program and perform any operation specified.

       -version
              Display the version of this program and exit immediately.

EXIT STATUS

       llvm-libtool-darwin  exits with a non-zero exit code if there is an error.  Otherwise, it exits with code
       0.
