| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | .I As | |
| 16 | assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified. | |
| 17 | The optional argument | |
| 18 | .B \-d | |
| 19 | may be used to specify the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets | |
| 20 | which involve forward or external references, which have sizes unspecified | |
| 21 | in the assembly language. | |
| 22 | The default is four bytes, | |
| 23 | i.e., | |
| 24 | .B \-d4 \&. | |
| 25 | All undefined symbols in the assembly | |
| 26 | are treated as global. | |
| 27 | Normally all labels which begin with a `L' are discarded to save space in | |
| 28 | the resultant output file; the compilers generate such temporary labels. | |
| 29 | The | |
| 30 | .B \-L | |
| 31 | option causes these labels to not be discarded. | |
| 32 | .PP | |
| 33 | The output of the assembly is left on the file | |
| 34 | .I objfile; | |
| 35 | if that is omitted, | |
| 36 | .I a.out | |
| 37 | is used. | |
