It is primarily used as a debugging tool to reduce test cases from larger programs that are triggering a bug.</p> <p>In addition to extracting the bitcode of the specified function, <strong>llvm-extract</strong> will also remove unreachable global variables, prototypes, and unused types.</p> <p>The <strong>llvm-extract</strong> command reads its input from standard input if filename is omitted or if filename is -. The output is always written to standard output, unless the <strong>-o</strong> option is specified (see below).</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> <dl> <dt><strong><a name="f" class="item"><strong>-f</strong></a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Force overwrite. Normally, <strong>llvm-extract</strong> will refuse to overwrite an output file that already exists. With this option, <strong>llvm-extract</strong> will overwrite the output file and replace it with new bitcode.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a name="func_function_name" class="item"><strong>--func</strong> <em>function-name</em></a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Extract the function named <em>function-name</em> from the LLVM bitcode.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a name="help" class="item"><strong>--help</strong></a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Print a summary of command line options.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a name="o_filename" class="item"><strong>-o</strong> <em>filename</em></a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Specify the output filename.
