.I As\^
assembles the named file, or the standard input if no file name is specified.
The optional argument

may be used to specify the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets
which involve forward or external references, which have sizes unspecified
in the assembly language.
The default is four bytes,
i.e.,
.BR \-d4 .
All undefined symbols in the assembly
are treated as global.
.PP
The output of the assembly is left on the file
.IR objfile ;
if that is omitted,

It is executable if no errors occurred during the assembly, and if there
were no unresolved external references.
