NAME

       as_ia: as - assembler for Integrity systems

SYNOPSIS

       outfile] [file]

   Remarks
       This manpage describes on Integrity systems.  For on PA-RISC systems, see as_pa(1).

DESCRIPTION

       assembles  the  named  source file file, or the standard input if file is not specified.  The output of the assembler is an ELF relocatable
       object file that must be processed by before it can be executed.

       Assembler output is stored in file outfile.  If the option is not specified, the assembler constructs a default name.  If no source file is
       specified,  outfile  will  be  otherwise  the  suffix (if present) is stripped from the name of the source file and is appended to it.  Any
       directory names are removed from the name so that the object file is always written to the current directory.

       does not not perform any macro processing.  Standard C preprocessor constructs can be used if the assembler is invoked through the  C  com-
       piler.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

       Specify that the source file contains 32-bit ABI targeted code.
		      This option is overridden by the assembler directive in the source file.	The object file is a 32-bit ELF file by default.

       Specify that the source file contains 64-bit ABI targeted code.
		      This option is overridden by the assembler directive in the source file.	The object file is a 64-bit ELF file by default.

       Permit an unlimited number of errors to be tolerated before the assembly
		      process is abandoned.  By default, one hundred errors are allowed before the assembler aborts.

       Specify that the object file should be 32-bit ELF.
		      This  is	the  default  (see  also Note that it is valid to write 64-bit ABI targeted code to a 32-bit ELF file.	All 32-bit
		      addresses in the object file are zero-extended to 64-bit upon loading.  Zero-extension, however, may invalidate any negative
		      addresses (such as with relocations).

       Specify that the object file should be 64-bit ELF (see also

       Set dependency checking.

       Produce an output object file with the name
		      outfile instead of constructing a default name.

       Print the version information to stderr before assembling the input.

       Suppress the specified warning messages.

       Promote the specified warning messages to errors.

       Suppress all warning messages.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the location of the message catalog for the processing of

       controls  which	assembler to invoke and enables support for multiple (cross-) development kits.  The variable points to the root of a spe-
       cific SDK.  No provision has been made to validate the value of the variable or the suitability of the assembler that's being invoked.

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

WARNINGS

       The assembler does not check dependencies.

DIAGNOSTICS

       When syntactic or semantic errors occur, a single-line diagnostic is displayed on standard error, together with the  line  number  and  the
       file name in which it occurred.
