+Linker Script Specification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two lld options related to setting the linker script,
+`--script=<file>` and `--default-script=<file>`. The usage are illustrated below.
+
+::
+
+ # This sets `--script=<file>` option under the hood.
+ lld -T linker_script.lds
+
+ # This sets `--default-script=<file>` option under the hood.
+ lld -dT linker_script.lds
+
+When both options are given, `--script=<file>` takes precedence.
+The intended use case of `--default-script` is to be used by toolchain
+configurations, and users can override the script by specifying `--script` if
+needed.
