Usage

Install Node.js and GnuPlot:

macOS (Using HomeBrew)
```
brew install node gnuplot
```
Linux
```
sudo apt-get install nodejs gnuplot
```

Install the various modules on which the tools depend:
```
npm install
```
Modify the ./update script, change the first argument passed to ./update-readme.js to match that of the clone of llvm-project-prepo used to build the test linkers.
Ensure that the linkers are on the path.
Run the update script:
```
./update
```
Wait patiently. Generating and linking test data for hundreds or even thousands of binaries can take a very long time! Whilst the tool runs, you’ll see a series of progress bars:
```
% ./update
[----------------------------------------] 0% | ETA: 2 hours | 10/15300 | rld-gen
```
Results (both SVG graphs and the raw CSV data) are available in the results directory.
