.. module:: llvmlite.binding
   :synopsis: Interacting with the LLVM library.

The :mod:`llvmlite.binding` module provides classes to interact
with functionalities of the LLVM library. Generally, they closely
mirror concepts of the C++ API. Only a small subset of the LLVM
API is mirrored: those parts that have proven useful to
implement Numba_'s JIT compiler.
