How does the LLVM class work?

Some methods from this package seem to be calling non-existent methods in the LLVM class? For example, LLVMBuilderRef.cs contains the line:

public static LLVMBuilderRef Create(LLVMContextRef C) => LLVM.CreateBuilderInContext(C);

But there isn't a method in LLVM called CreateBuilderInContext. This probably has something to do with all the DllImports in the LLVM class, but what is the exact mechanics?

Not sure what you mean, the API clearly exists right here: https://github.com/dotnet/LLVMSharp/blob/main/sources/LLVMSharp.Interop/llvm/LLVM.cs#L2263

If you're trying to find these via GitHub Search, then there are limits as it doesn't index all files: https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/github-code-search/about-github-code-search#limitations

Using something like a local clone of the repo in VS or https://source.clangsharp.dev will give a better experience in many cases.

I remember that I was trying to find the definition in VS by right clicking and clicking go to definition, and couldn't find it there.
