NAME

as − assembler

SYNOPSIS

as [ −L ] [ −V ] [ −W ] [ −R ] [ −D ] [ −T ] [ −t directory ] [ −o ] [ −strict ] [ objfile ]
[ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

As assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified.  The available flags are:

−L Save defined labels beginning with an “L”, which are normally discarded to save space in the resultant symbol table.  The compilers generate such temporary labels. 

−V Use virtual memory rather than a temporary file for the interpass temporary file. 

−W Turn off all warning error reporting. 

−R Make initialized data segments read-only by concatenating them to the text segments.  This obviates the need to run editor scripts on assembly code to make initialized data read-only and shared. 

−D Print assembler debugging information and dump the symbol table, provided the assembler has been compiled with DEBUG defined. 

−T Print the token file, provided the assembler has been compiled with DEBUG defined. 

−t Specify a directory to receive the temporary file other than the default /tmp, provided the −V flag is not set. 

−o Place the output of the assembly in the file objfile; if that is omitted, a.out is used. 

−strict
Do not tolerate out-of-range displacement fields, for instance 32770 as a synonym for -32766.

All undefined symbols in the assembly are treated as global.  Flags − , −J , and −d are ignored.
