AS11(1)

NAME

as11 − PDP-11 cross-assembler

SYNOPSIS

as11 [ −u ] [ −o outfile ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

As11 assembles the specified files, using standard input if no file name is specified. If the optional −u argument is specified, the assembler makes all undefined symbols in the current assembly “undefined external”; otherwise the assembler complains about undefined symbols (.globl can be used to declare undefined externals when not using −u).

If the −o option is given, as11 writes its output to outfile. If the −o option is not included, as11 writes output to file a.out in the current directory. Following convention, the mode of the output file is made executable if there were no unresolved external references (even though the output file is not directly executable on the cross development machine).

FILES

/tmp/as∗temporary files
a.outdefault object file

DIAGNOSTICS

As11 is built to accept assembler language output from compilers, not for humans. Diagnostics, which consist of single-letter messages, are cryptic at best. See Ritchie, “UNIX Assembler Reference Manual” for details.
