The four primary ways of inputting some to a program (no matter the language the program is written in)
(a) command line argument, like your file argument
(b) environment variables, typically need to export from a shell script
(c) as stdin, basically the input stream to a program
(d) as a generic file, where the program looks for well-known files.

MIXAL(1) Mixal user's manual MIXAL(1)
NAME
mixal - a load-and-go MIX assembler
SYNOPSIS
mixal [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Mixal is an implementation of the hypothetical MIX computer and its assembly language called MIXAL. The computer was designed by Donald
Knuth for use in his monumental and yet to be finished book series The Art of Computer Programming. All programs and all programming exer-
cises in the book are written in the MIXAL language.
This implementation is a load-and-go assembler, meaning that you provide it with a MIXAL program source, which it translates into MIX
machine code, which it promptly executes by acting as a MIX emulator.
You give Mixal zero or more program source files in the command line, which the program interprets. If you give it no arguments, it
expects to find a program in the standard input stream. After the program has executed, the final state of the machine registers are
printed to the standard output stream.
The card punch and line printer devices are connected to the standard input and output stream, respectively. Console input and output are
connected to standard input and output, and the disk devices are connected to files named diskN in the current directory, where N is the
device number. Those files are created on demand.
BUGS
This MIXAL implementation does not do floating-point. The tape devices are not implemented.
AUTHOR
This MIXAL implementation was designed and written by Darius Bacon, and then ported to Unixish systems and debugged by Eric S. Raymond.
This version includes corrections to multiplication and division by Larry Gately. This manual page was written for Debian by Antti-Juhani
Kaijanaho, with changes by Darius Bacon.
SEE ALSO
The files /usr/share/doc/mixal/READ.ME and /usr/share/doc/mixal/NOTES.gz contain some information about this MIXAL implementation. Be sure
to read /usr/share/doc/mixal/README.Debian, too.
A description of the MIX system and the MIXAL language can be found in Donald E. Knuth's book The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1:
Fundamental Algorithms; 3rd Edition (Addison-Wesley 1997). (Or see the home page at http://www-cs-faculty.stan-
ford.edu/%7Eknuth/taocp.html.)
