llvm-config: Print the `PREFIX` of your LLVM installation.
$ llvm-config --prefix
try on your machine

The command "llvm-config --prefix" queries the LLVM installation directory or, in other words, it displays the prefix directory where LLVM is installed.

When you install LLVM, it gets installed in a specific directory structure. The prefix directory represents the top-level directory where LLVM is installed. This directory typically contains subdirectories such as bin, lib, include, share, etc., where the different components of LLVM are located.

By running the "llvm-config --prefix" command, you are requesting the value of the prefix directory through the llvm-config utility. This information can be useful, for example, when you want to compile or link against LLVM libraries, and you need to specify the correct paths.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
