+=====================
+Error Handling Script
+=====================
+
+LLD provides the ability to hook into some error handling routines through a
+user-provided script specified with ``--error-handling-script=<path to the script>``
+when certain errors are encountered. This document specifies the requirements of
+such a script.
+
+Generic Requirements
+====================
+
+The script is expected to be available in the ``PATH`` or to be provided using a
+full path. It must be executable. It is executed in the same environment as the
+parent process.
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+LLD calls the error handling script using the following arguments::
+
+    error-handling-script <tag> <tag-specific-arguments...>
+
+The following tags are supported:
+
+- ``missing-lib``: indicates that LLD failed to find a library. The library name
+  is specified as the second argument, e.g. ``error-handling-script missing-lib
+  mylib``
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+Upon success, the script is expected to return 0. A non-zero value is
+interpreted as an error and reported to the user. In both cases, LLD still
+reports the original error.
