--garbage-collection
              Removes  pieces  of debug information related to discarded sections.  When the linker does section
              garbage collection the abandoned debug info is left behind. Such abandoned debug  info  references
              address ranges using tombstone values. Thus, when this option is specified, the tool removes debug
              info which is marked with the tombstone value.

              That option is enabled by default.

       --odr-deduplication
              Remove  duplicated  types  (if “One Definition Rule” is supported by source language). Keeps first
              type definition and removes other definitions, potentially  significantly  reducing  the  size  of
              output debug info.

              That option is enabled by default.

       --help,-h
              Print a summary of command line options.

       --no-garbage-collection
              Disable --garbage-collection.

       --no-odr-deduplication
              Disable --odr-deduplication.

       --no-separate-debug-file
              Disable --separate-debug-file.

       --num-threads=<n>,-j
              Specifies the maximum number (n) of simultaneous threads to use for processing.

       --separate-debug-file
              Generate  separate file containing output debug info. Using llvm-dwarfutil with that option equals
              to the following set of commands:

          :program:`llvm-objcopy` --only-keep-debug in-file out-file.debug
          :program:`llvm-objcopy` --strip-debug in-file out-file
          :program:`llvm-objcopy` --add-gnu-debuglink=out-file.debug out-file

       --tombstone=<value>
              <value> can be one of the following values:

                 • bfd: zero for all addresses and [1,1] for DWARF v4 (or less) address ranges and exec.

                 • maxpc: -1 for all addresses and -2 for DWARF v4 (or less) address ranges.

                 • universal: both bfd and maxpc.

                 • exec: match with address ranges of executable sections.

                 The value universal is used by default.

       --verbose
              Enable verbose logging. This option disables multi-thread mode.

       --verify
              Run the DWARF verifier on the output DWARF debug info.

       --version
              Print the version of this program.

llvm-dwarfutil is a tool to copy and manipulate debug info.

       In  basic  usage,  it makes a semantic copy of the input to the output. If any options are specified, the
       output may be modified along the way, e.g.  by removing unused debug info.

       If “-” is specified for the input file, the input is read from the program’s standard  input  stream.  If
       “-” is specified for the output file, the output is written to the standard output stream of the program.

       The tool is still in active development.

llvm-dwarfutil exits with a non-zero exit code if there is an error.  Otherwise, it exits with code 0.
