+Syntax:
+"""""""
+
+::
+
+      declare <type> @llvm.arbitrary.fp.convert(
+          <type> <value>, metadata <result interpretation>,
+          metadata <input interpretation>, metadata <rounding mode>,
+          i32 <saturation>)
+
+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The ``llvm.arbitrary.fp.convert`` intrinsic performs conversions
+between values whose interpretation differs from their representation
+in LLVM IR. The intrinsic is overloaded on both its return type and first
+argument. Metadata operands describe how the raw bits should be interpreted
+before and after the conversion.
+
+Arguments:
+""""""""""
+
+``value``
+  The value to convert. Its interpretation is described by ``input
+  interpretation``.
+
+``result interpretation``
+  A metadata string that describes the type of the result. The string
+  can be ``"none"`` (no conversion needed), ``"signed"`` or ``"unsigned"`` (for
+  integer types), or any target-specific string for floating-point formats.
+  For example ``"spv.E4M3EXT"`` and ``"spv.E5M2EXT"`` stand for FP8 SPIR-V formats.
+  Using ``"none"`` indicates the converted bits already have the desired LLVM IR type.
