NAME

as − assembler for VAX-11/780

SYNOPSIS

as [ −d124 ] [ −o objfile ] [ name ]

DESCRIPTION

As assembles the named file, or the standard input if no file name is specified.  The optional argument −d may be used to specify the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets which involve forward or external references, which have sizes unspecified in the assembly language.  The default is four bytes, i.e., −d4.  All undefined symbols in the assembly are treated as global. 

The output of the assembly is left on the file objfile; if that is omitted, a.out is used.  It is executable if no errors occurred during the assembly, and if there were no unresolved external references.
