The default is .B \-d4. .TP 5 .B \-J Uses 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. .TP 5 .B \-L Saves defined labels beginning with L, which are normally discarded. The compilers generate such temporary labels. .TP 5 .B \-o Specifies the name of the output file. If this option is omitted, .PN a.out is assumed. .TP 5 .B \-R Make initialized data segments read only, by concatenating them to the text segments. This prevents the need to run editor scripts on assembly code to make initialized data read only and shared. .TP 5 .B \-t Specifies a directory other than the default .PN /tmp to receive the temporary file. .TP 5 .B \-V Uses virtual memory rather than a temporary file for immediate storage. .TP 5 .B \-W Do not complain about errors. .PP All undefined symbols in the assembly are treated as global. .PP The output of the assembly is left on the file .I objfile; if that is omitted, .B a.out is used. .SH Files .TP 15 .PN /tmp/as\(** default temporary files .TP .PN a.out default resultant object file .SH See Also adb(1), dbx(1), ld(1), nm(1), a.out(5) .br .I ULTRIX Supplementary Documents, Vol. III: System Manager
