NAME
     m11 - Macro-11 assembler for UNIX

SYNOPSIS
     m11 [ option1 option2 ...	] file1 file2 ...  filen

DESCRIPTION
     _M_1_1 assembles the concatenation of the specified files
     (_f_i_l_e_1, etc.) and terminates when an ``.end'' statement is
     encountered.  The resulting object file is usually named
     _f_i_l_e_n._o_b_j (see below).  If a file argument, _f_i_l_e_i does not
     contain a ``.'' in its name, the file _f_i_l_e_i._m_1_1 will be
     sought before _f_i_l_e_i itself.


     Options, if desired, may appear anywhere in the command, and
     are chosen from the following list.  All options are inter-
     preted before any files are read.


     -ls  Produce an assembly listing and place in _f_i_l_e_n.lst

     -lt  Produce an assembly listing on the standard output.

     -fl  If coupled with the -_l_s or -_l_t directives, makes the
	  listing have a shortened format.  It is shorthand for
	  -_n_l:_s_e_q:_l_o_c:_b_i_n:_b_e_x:_m_e:_m_e_b:_t_t_m:_t_o_c:_s_y_m.

     -uc  Simulate an initial ._d_s_a_b_l _l_c directive.  Force all
	  characters in macro definitions to be upper case.  This
	  flag makes lower-case handling in _m_1_1 compatable with
	  the DEC Macro-11 assemblers.

     -um  Force all characters in macro definitions to be upper
	  case.  This flag makes lower-case handling in this
	  release of _m_1_1 compatable with previous versions of
	  _m_1_1.

     -de  Make all option choices needed to make assembly mimic
	  DEC Macro-11.  Implies (_i_n_t_e_r _a_l_i_a) the -_u_c flag.  This
	  includes the Johns Hopkins _a_s_m assembler.

     -ha  Make all option choices needed to make assembly mimic
	  earlier (Harvard) releases of m11.  This implies the
	  -_u_m flag.  Default .psect and .csect attributes are set
	  up in the funny Harvard way.

     -mx  Produce a listing of the source program as it appears
	  _a_f_t_e_r macro expansion.  Macro calls, conditional direc-
	  tives and so on appear in the listing as comments.
	  Listing appears on standard output. No machine code is
	  generated or listed.	This option is meant to

	  correspond to the -E or -P options of the C compiler
	  _c_c(_1).

     -my  Like -_m_x, except that macro calls and conditional
	  directives do not show up in the listing.

     -10  Generate an error whenever op codes not in the PDP-11
	  ``standard instruction set'' are encountered.  Program-
	  mers writing for a PDP 11/10 can catch instructions
	  illegal for that machine by using this argument.

     -dp:args
	  The default attributes for a ._p_s_e_c_t or unnamed ._c_s_e_c_t
	  are redefined, using	the colon-separated list _a_r_g_s of
	  valid .psect attributes.

     -da:args
	  The default attributes for an ._a_s_e_c_t are redefined.

     -dp:c
	  The default attributes for a named ._c_s_e_c_t are rede-
	  fined.

     -li:arglist
	  Simulate an initial ._l_i_s_t _a_r_g_l_i_s_t directive.	All ._l_i_s_t
	  and ._n_l_i_s_t directives in the program text which attempt
	  to change the settings established with the -_l_i flag
	  will be ignored.

     -nl:arglist
	  Like -_l_i:_a_r_g_l_i_s_t, but for the ._n_l_i_s_t directive.

     -en:arglist
	  Similarly, for the ._e_n_a_b_l directive.

     -ds:arglist
	  Similarly, but for the ._d_s_a_b_l directive.

     -cr:arglist
	  Produces a cross-reference listing.  If the -_l_s option
	  is also included, the cross-reference listing will fol-
	  low the assembly listing in _f_i_l_e_n.lst.  References
	  which are tagged with the symbol # are definitions.
	  References tagged with * are destuctive references: the
	  value of the symbol or variable in question is changed.
	  _A_r_g_l_i_s_t consists of colon-separated keywords from the
	  following set.  The keywords may be prefix abbreviated:

	  sym  All user-defined symbols are indexed.

	  mac  All macro names are indexed.

M11(1)		    UNIX Programmer's Manual		   M11(1)



	  per  All uses of permanent symbols - op codes, direc-
	       tives, etc - are indexed.

	  pse  All psect names are indexed.  For compatability
	       with the RT-11 _C_R_E_F program, the argument _c_s_e is
	       synonymous with _p_s_e.

	  err  All errors are indexed.

	  reg  All register uses are indexed.

	  If no _a_r_g_l_i_s_t is specified the default _s_y_m:_m_a_c:_e_r_r is
	  used.  In the listing page and line numbers for uses of
	  symbols are followed by a # sign if the symbol is
	  defined and by a * sign if the symbol is modified.

     -lp  Same as -ls, but also spools _f_i_l_e_n.lst for printing
	  upon completion.

     -no  No object file is produced.  This is useful for syntax
	  checking or list producing.

     -xs:n
	  Allots nK words of extra space for symbol table and
	  macro storage.  NOTE: This option is currently inopera-
	  tive: _m_1_1 automatically allots core for its tables as
	  needed.

     -xx  Debug flag: generate all kinds of wierd hack flack.

     -ns  No symbol table is included in the object file (thus
	  ddt knows of no symbols from this assembly).

     -sx  Make the symbol table contain ``local symbols'' as well
	  as ordinary symbols.

     -u   Treat form feed characters as spaces.  This will make
	  _m_1_1's idea of line numbers coincide with the UNIX text
	  editors.  Macro-11 statements containing imbedded form
	  feed characters will be parsed differently when the -_u
	  flag is in effect.

     -na:file
	  Override the convention of using last name as file
	  name.  Instead, use names _f_i_l_e._o_b_j and _f_i_l_e._l_s_t for
	  object and listing files.

NOTES
     This implementation of Macro-11 is a distant hand-me down
     from an old DEC Macro-11 modified at Harvard University in
     the early 1970's.	It is grubby with smudges by Brent Byer,
     F. J. Howard, Bob Bowering, and Jim Reeds.  It does not

     implement keyword arguments such as are described in section
     7.3.6 of the DEC manual.  The .enabl abs option does not
     work.  Listing control is by default .list ttm.  Unlike ear-
     lier editions of m11 at UCB and at Harvard, it does treat
     immediate constants of floating point operations correctly:
     see the last paragraph of section 6.4.2 on the middle of
     page 6-27 of the DEC manual.  M11 has several directives not
     described in the DEC manual.  See the _N_e_w _U_C_B _M_1_1 _M_a_n_u_a_l.
     The default attributes for ._p_s_e_c_t_s are different from those
     described in the DEC manual, but may be changed by the -_d_p
     flag.  The ._e_n_a_b_l _g_l_b feature is implemented: undefined sym-
     bols are taken as undefined global externals.
