.TH AS11 1 .SH NAME as11 \- \s-2PDP-11\s0 cross-assembler .SH SYNOPSIS .B as11 [ .B \-u ] [ .B \-o outfile ] [ file ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I As11 assembles the specified files, using standard input if no file name is specified. If the optional .B \-u argument is specified, the assembler makes all undefined symbols in the current assembly ``undefined external''; otherwise the assembler complains about undefined symbols (\f3.globl\f1 can be used to declare undefined externals when not using \f2\-u\f1). .PP If the \f3\-o\f1 option is given, \f2as11\f1 writes its output to \f2outfile\f1. If the \f3\-o\f1 option is not included, \f2as11\f1 writes output to file \f2a.out\f1 in the current directory. Following convention, the mode of the output file is made executable if there were no unresolved external references (even though the output file is not directly executable on the cross development machine). .SH FILES .ta 1.5i /tmp/as\(** temporary files .br a.out default object file .SH DIAGNOSTICS \f2As11\f1 is built to accept assembler language output from compilers, not for humans. Diagnostics, which consist of single-letter messages, are cryptic at best. See Ritchie, ``\s-2UNIX\s0 Assembler Reference Manual'' for details. .SH "SEE ALSO" cc11(1), ld(1), nm(1), size11(1)
