| |
| llvm-as - LLVM assembler |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| B<llvm-as> [I<options>] [I<filename>] |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| B<llvm-as> is the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing human-readable |
| LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bitcode, and writes the result |
| into a file or to standard output. |
| |
| If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-as> reads its input from |
| standard input. |
| |
| If an output file is not specified with the B<-o> option, then |
| B<llvm-as> sends its output to a file or standard output by following |
| these rules: |
| |
| =over |
| |
| =item * |
| |
| If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output. |
| |
| =item * |
| |
| If the input is a file that ends with C<.ll>, then the output file is of |
| the same name, except that the suffix is changed to C<.bc>. |
| |
| =item * |
| |
| If the input is a file that does not end with the C<.ll> suffix, then the |
| output file has the same name as the input file, except that the C<.bc> |
| suffix is appended. |
| |
| =back |
| |
| =head1 OPTIONS |
| |
| =over |
| |
| =item B<-f> |
| |
| Force overwrite. Normally, B<llvm-as> will refuse to overwrite an |
| output file that already exists. With this option, B<llvm-as> |
| will overwrite the output file and replace it with new bitcode. |
| |
| =item B<--help> |
| |
| Print a summary of command line options. |
| |
| =item B<-o> F<filename> |
| |
| Specify the output file name. If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-as> |
| sends its output to standard output. |
| |
| =back |
| |
| =head1 EXIT STATUS |
| |
| If B<llvm-as> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error |
| occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. |
