assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified.
Specifies the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets
which involve forward or external references, and which have sizes unspecified
in the assembly language.
Save defined labels beginning with a `L', which are normally discarded
to save space in the resultant symbol table.
The compilers generate such temporary labels.
Use virtual memory for some intermediate storage,
rather than a temporary file.
Do not complain about errors.
Use long branches to resolve jumps when byte-displacement branches are
insufficient. This must be used when a compiler-generated assembly contains
branches of more than 32k bytes.
Make initialized data segments read-only, by concatenating them to
This obviates the need to run editor scripts on assembly
code to make initialized data read-only and shared.
Specifies a directory to receive the temporary file, other than

byte, word and long branches.
