| <p>This document describes the LLVM bitcode file format. It specifies |
| the binary encoding rules of the bitcode file format so that |
| equivalent systems can encode bitcode files correctly. The LLVM |
| bitcode representation is used to store the intermediate |
| representation on disk in a compacted form.</p> |
| <p>This document supercedes the LLVM bytecode file format for the 2.0 |
| release.</p> |
