@@ -76,3 +76,56 @@ Supported File Formats
The current implementation only supports ELF files. At time of writing, it is
unclear if it will be useful to support other object file formats like ``COFF``
or ``Mach-O``.
+
+Usage
+===========
+
+Users are expected to pass ``-ffat-lto-objects`` to clang in addition to one of
+the ``-flto`` variants. Without the ``-flto`` flag, ``-ffat-lto-objects`` has
+no effect.
+
+
+Compile and link. Use the object code from the fat object without LTO.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang -fno-lto -ffat-lto-objects -fuse-ld=lld foo.c

This is just a nit, but would it be possible to use `example.c` instead of `foo.c` here and below?
