.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBas\fR is really a family of assemblers.
If you use (or have used) the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler on one architecture, you
should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
architecture.  Each version has much in common with the others,
including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called
\&\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax.
.PP
\&\fBas\fR is primarily intended to assemble the output of the
\&\s-1GNU\s0 C compiler  for use by the linker
\&.  Nevertheless, we've tried to make \fBas\fR
assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
machine would assemble.
Any exceptions are documented explicitly.
This doesn't mean \fBas\fR always uses the same syntax as another
assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
.PP
Each time you run \fBas\fR it assembles exactly one source
program.  The source program is made up of one or more files.
(The standard input is also a file.)
.PP
You give \fBas\fR a command line that has zero or more input file
names.  The input files are read (from left file name to right).  A
command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning
is taken to be an input file name.
.PP
If you give \fBas\fR no file names it attempts to read one input file
from the \fBas\fR standard input, which is normally your terminal.  You
may have to type \fBctl-D\fR to tell \fBas\fR there is no more program
to assemble.
.PP
Use \fB\-\-\fR if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
in your command line.
.PP
If the source is empty, \fBas\fR produces a small, empty object
file.
.PP
\&\fBas\fR may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
file (usually your terminal).  This should not happen when  a compiler
runs \fBas\fR automatically.  Warnings report an assumption made so
that \fBas\fR could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
grave problem that stops the assembly.
.PP
If you are invoking \fBas\fR via the \s-1GNU\s0 C compiler (version 2),
you can use the \fB\-Wa\fR option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the \fB\-Wa\fR)
by commas.  For example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&        gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
.Ve
This passes two options to the assembler: \fB\-alh\fR (emit a listing to
standard output with with high-level and assembly source) and \fB\-L\fR (retain
local symbols in the symbol table).
.PP
Usually you do not need to use this \fB\-Wa\fR mechanism, since many compiler
command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
(You can call the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler driver with the \fB\-v\fR option to see
precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
assembler.)
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-a[cdhlmns]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a[cdhlmns]"
Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways:
.RS 4
.IP "\fB\-ac\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ac"
omit false conditionals
.IP "\fB\-ad\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ad"
omit debugging directives
.IP "\fB\-ah\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ah"
include high-level source
.IP "\fB\-al\fR" 4
.IX Item "-al"
include assembly
.IP "\fB\-am\fR" 4
.IX Item "-am"
include macro expansions
.IP "\fB\-an\fR" 4
.IX Item "-an"
omit forms processing
.IP "\fB\-as\fR" 4
.IX Item "-as"
include symbols
.IP "\fB=file\fR" 4
.IX Item "=file"
set the name of the listing file
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
You may combine these options; for example, use \fB\-aln\fR for assembly
listing without forms processing.  The \fB=file\fR option, if used, must be
the last one.  By itself, \fB\-a\fR defaults to \fB\-ahls\fR.
.RE
.IP "\fB\-D\fR" 4
.IX Item "-D"
Ignored.  This option is accepted for script compatibility with calls to
other assemblers.
.IP "\fB\-\-defsym\fR \fIsym\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR" 4
.IX Item "--defsym sym=value"
Define the symbol \fIsym\fR to be \fIvalue\fR before assembling the input file.
\&\fIvalue\fR must be an integer constant.  As in C, a leading \fB0x\fR
indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading \fB0\fR indicates an octal value.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f"
``fast''\-\-\-skip whitespace and comment preprocessing (assume source is
compiler output).
.IP "\fB\-\-gstabs\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gstabs"
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line.  This
may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.
.IP "\fB\-\-gdwarf2\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gdwarf2"
Generate \s-1DWARF2\s0 debugging information for each assembler line.  This
may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.  Note \- this
option is only supported by some targets, not all of them.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
.IP "\fB\-\-target\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--target-help"
Print a summary of all target specific options and exit.
.IP "\fB\-I\fR \fIdir\fR" 4
.IX Item "-I dir"
Add directory \fIdir\fR to the search list for \f(CW\*(C`.include\*(C'\fR directives.
.IP "\fB\-J\fR" 4
.IX Item "-J"
Don't warn about signed overflow.
.IP "\fB\-K\fR" 4
.IX Item "-K"
This option is accepted but has no effect on the \s-1TARGET\s0 family.
.IP "\fB\-L\fR" 4
.IX Item "-L"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-keep\-locals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--keep-locals"
.PD
Keep (in the symbol table) local symbols.  On traditional a.out systems
these start with \fBL\fR, but different systems have different local
label prefixes.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-lhs\-width=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-lhs-width=number"
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for an assembler
listing to \fInumber\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-lhs\-width2=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-lhs-width2=number"
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for continuation
lines in an assembler listing to \fInumber\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-rhs\-width=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-rhs-width=number"
Set the maximum width of an input source line, as displayed in a listing, to
\&\fInumber\fR bytes.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-cont\-lines=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
