INTEL2GAS(1)						      General Commands Manual						      INTEL2GAS(1)

NAME

       intel2gas - convert between NASM assembly and GAS assembly language

SYNOPSIS

       intel2gas [-higmtcIdV] [-o outfile] [infile]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the intel2gas command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       intel2gas is a small text parser that can convert assembler source written in NASM syntax to gas syntax. And nowadays more often  also  the
       other way.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -i     convert from intel to at&t format (default)

       -g     convert from at&t to intel format

       -m     convert from masm to at&t format

       -t     convert from tasm to at&t format

       -c     understand C style comments

       -I     convert inline assembler (intel to at&t only)

       -d     output all % chars as %%

       -V     show version

ENVIRONMENT

       I2G_DATA
	      should  indicate	the  location of the syntax files if they are not installed in the default location. The value should be a path to
	      the directory with the subdirectories g2i, i2g and m2g.

FILES

       /usr/share/intel2gas/{g2i,i2g,m2g}/*
	      syntaxfiles for the translation.

SEE ALSO

       There is some other documentation available in the files README, INSTALL and DATAFILES which reside in /usr/share/doc/intel2gas.

AUTHORS

       The author of the program is Mikko Tiihonen <mikko.tiihonen@hut.fi>.  This manual page was written by Alexander Zangerl <az@snafu.priv.at>,
       for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
