llvm-dis: Convert a bitcode file to an LLVM IR file with the same filename.

llvm-dis

$ llvm-dis ${filename-bc}

try on your machine

The command "llvm-dis ${filename-bc}" is likely used to disassemble a LLVM bitcode file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"llvm-dis": This is the LLVM disassembler command-line tool. It is used to convert LLVM bitcode files into human-readable LLVM assembly language representation.
"${filename-bc}": This is a placeholder indicating the name of the input file. The "-bc" extension in the filename refers to the fact that it is a LLVM bitcode file. The actual name of the file needs to be provided when executing the command.

When the command is executed with the appropriate filename, it will disassemble the LLVM bitcode file and output the corresponding LLVM assembly language representation. This can be useful for inspecting the low-level LLVM code, understanding the optimizations applied, debugging, or reverse-engineering.
