     NAME
          as - MC88000 assembler

     SYNOPSIS
          as [ options ] file

     DESCRIPTION
          The as command performs assembly of 88000 instruction
          mnemonics into object files.  The assembler input language
          is described in Chapter 11 of Using DG/UXTM System
          Programming Tools.  The as command may optionally invoke the
          m4(1) macro processor and sifilter(1) before assembly.  The
          as command reads input from file; if file is `-', as reads
          from stdin.

          as supports the following options:

          -o objfile
               Causes as to place its output in the specified objfile.
               If this option is not present, as places output in a
               file whose name is constructed from file by replacing a
               .s suffix, if present, with .o, otherwise by appending
               .o. If as takes its input from stdin, then the -o
               option must be supplied.  The output file must be a
               file on which as can perform fseek(3S).

          -m   Causes as to process its input with the m4 macro
               processor before assembly.

          -Y [md],dir
               Normally, as will invoke m4 with a command line of the
               form:

               /bin/m4 /lib/cm4defs file

               The -Y option changes the directory from which m4 is
               invoked and the directory in which cm4defs is found.
               Thus
               -Y m,dir will invoke dir/m4 and include /lib/cm4defs;
               -Y d,dir will invoke /bin/m4 and include dir/cm4defs;
               -Y md,dir will invoke dir/m4 and include dir/cm4defs.

          -W s,sifilter-options
               This option controls invocation of the silicon filter
               before assembly.  Arguments to this option include on,
               which will unconditionally invoke sifilter with default
               options, and off, which prevents invocation of
               sifilter; any other arguments are passed as options to
               sifilter.

               By default, as will not invoke sifilter.

          -W c,ctl-options
               This option controls invocation of the COFF-to-legend
               translator after assembly.  All arguments are passed as
               options to ctl.

               By default, as will not invoke ctl.
