NAME
     as - assembler

SYNOPSIS
     as [ -d 124] [ -NLWVR ] [ -t directory ] [ -o objfile ] [
     name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     As assembles the named files, or the standard input if no
     file name is specified.

     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.

OPTIONS
     -d   Specifies the number of bytes to be assembled for
          offsets which involve forward or external references,
          and which have sizes unspecified in the assembly
          language.  The default is -d4.

     -N   Specifies syntax which is easier to use than the
          compiler's for register lists, configuration lists and
          string instruction options. Use of this switch does not
          disable compiler syntax.

     -L   Save defined labels beginning with a `L', which are
          normally discarded to save space in the resultant
          symbol table.  The compilers generate such temporary
          labels.

     -V   Use virtual memory for intermediate storage, rather
          than the default temporary file.

     -W   Do not complain about errors.

     -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.

     -t   Specifies a directory to receive the temporary file,
          other than the default /tmp.

FILES
     /tmp/as*                 Default temporary file

     a.out                    Default resultant object file

CAVEATS
     Syntax errors can cause incorrect line numbers in error
