This tool scrapes the LLVM-C API and provides a TUI to search and navigate the API from the terminal. It came to be from the lack of search options in the llvm-c official documentation, and difficulty to navigate the hyperlinks as a beginner to llvm.
To find, for example, the sext corresponding instruction, instead of clicking
all apparently related hyperlinks of sub-modules (in
fact, this exact function was the "last-drop", and the reason why I wrote
program), simply run the program, and then filter for sext by tapping / when the TUI loads.
Additionally, pressing enter on the selected item will open the corresponding llvm-c API webpage on the browser.
