-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBas\fR is really a family of assemblers.
-If you use (or have used) the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler on one architecture, you
-should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
-architecture. Each version has much in common with the others,
-including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called
-\&\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax.
-.PP
-\&\fBas\fR is primarily intended to assemble the output of the
-\&\s-1GNU\s0 C compiler \f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR for use by the linker
-\&\f(CW\*(C`ld\*(C'\fR. Nevertheless, we've tried to make \fBas\fR
-assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
-machine would assemble.
-Any exceptions are documented explicitly.
-This doesn't mean \fBas\fR always uses the same syntax as another
-assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
-incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
-.PP
-Each time you run \fBas\fR it assembles exactly one source
-program. The source program is made up of one or more files.
-(The standard input is also a file.)
-.PP
-You give \fBas\fR a command line that has zero or more input file
-names. The input files are read (from left file name to right). A
-command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning
-is taken to be an input file name.
-.PP
-If you give \fBas\fR no file names it attempts to read one input file
-from the \fBas\fR standard input, which is normally your terminal. You
-may have to type \fBctl-D\fR to tell \fBas\fR there is no more program
-to assemble.
-.PP
-Use \fB\-\-\fR if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
-in your command line.
-.PP
-If the source is empty, \fBas\fR produces a small, empty object
-file.
-.PP
-\&\fBas\fR may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
-file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler
-runs \fBas\fR automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so
-that \fBas\fR could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
-grave problem that stops the assembly.
-.PP
-If you are invoking \fBas\fR via the \s-1GNU\s0 C compiler,
-you can use the \fB\-Wa\fR option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
-The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the \fB\-Wa\fR)
-by commas. For example:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& gcc \-c \-g \-O \-Wa,\-alh,\-L file.c
-.Ve
-.PP
-This passes two options to the assembler: \fB\-alh\fR (emit a listing to
-standard output with high-level and assembly source) and \fB\-L\fR (retain
-local symbols in the symbol table).
-.PP
-Usually you do not need to use this \fB\-Wa\fR mechanism, since many compiler
-command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
-(You can call the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler driver with the \fB\-v\fR option to see
-precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
-assembler.)
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.IX Header "OPTIONS"
-.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
-.IX Item "@file"
-Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
-inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
-does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
-literally, and not removed.
-.Sp
-Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
-character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
-option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
-backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
-with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
-@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.

-Enable or disable the silicon filter behaviour. By default this is disabled.
-The default can be overridden by the \fB\-sifilter\fR command line option.
-.IP "\fB\-relax\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-relax"
-Alter jump instructions for long displacements.
-.IP "\fB\-mcpu=[210|340]\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-mcpu=[210|340]"
-Select the cpu type on the target hardware. This controls which instructions
-can be assembled.
-.IP "\fB\-EB\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-EB"
-Assemble for a big endian target.
-.IP "\fB\-EL\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-EL"
-Assemble for a little endian target.
-.PP
-See the info pages for documentation of the MMIX-specific options.
-.PP
-The following options are available when as is configured for
-an Xtensa processor.
-.IP "\fB\-\-text\-section\-literals | \-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals"
-With \fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR, literal pools are interspersed
-in the text section. The default is
-\&\fB\-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR, which places literals in a
-separate section in the output file. These options only affect literals
-referenced via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals for
-absolute mode \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately.
-.IP "\fB\-\-absolute\-literals | \-\-no\-absolute\-literals\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals"
-Indicate to the assembler whether \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions use absolute
-or PC-relative addressing. The default is to assume absolute addressing
-if the Xtensa processor includes the absolute \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR addressing
-option. Otherwise, only the PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR mode can be used.
-.IP "\fB\-\-target\-align | \-\-no\-target\-align\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--target-align | --no-target-align"
-Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at the
-expense of some code density. The default is \fB\-\-target\-align\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-\-longcalls | \-\-no\-longcalls\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--longcalls | --no-longcalls"
-Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls
-across a greater range of addresses. The default is
-\&\fB\-\-no\-longcalls\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-\-transform | \-\-no\-transform\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--transform | --no-transform"
-Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions.
-The default is \fB\-\-transform\fR;
-\&\fB\-\-no\-transform\fR should be used only in the rare cases when the
-instructions must be exactly as specified in the assembly source.
-.PP
-The following options are available when as is configured for
-a Z80 family processor.
-.IP "\fB\-z80\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-z80"
-Assemble for Z80 processor.
-.IP "\fB\-r800\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-r800"
-Assemble for R800 processor.

-.IX Item "-ignore-undocumented-instructions"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-Wnud\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-Wnud"
-.PD
-Assemble undocumented Z80 instructions that also work on R800 without warning.
-.IP "\fB\-ignore\-unportable\-instructions\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-ignore-unportable-instructions"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-Wnup\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-Wnup"
