llvm-dis: Convert a bitcode file to LLVM IR, writing the result to the specified file.
$ llvm-dis ${path-to-input-bc} -o ${path-to-output-ll}
try on your machine

The command "llvm-dis ${path-to-input-bc} -o ${path-to-output-ll}" is used to disassemble a LLVM bitcode file (.bc) into a human-readable LLVM assembly file (.ll).

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "llvm-dis": This is a command-line tool provided by LLVM that performs the disassembly of LLVM bitcode files.
  • "${path-to-input-bc}": This is a placeholder representing the path to the input LLVM bitcode file. You need to replace it with the actual path to your input .bc file.
  • "-o": This flag is used to specify the output file.
  • "${path-to-output-ll}": This is a placeholder representing the desired path to the output LLVM assembly file. You need to replace it with the actual path where you want to store the generated .ll file.

In summary, by running this command with appropriate input and output paths, you can convert a binary LLVM bitcode file into a human-readable LLVM assembly file for easier understanding and analysis.
