-.SH DESCRIPTION
-GNU \c
-.B as\c
-\& is really a family of assemblers.
-If you use (or have used) the GNU 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
-\c
-.I pseudo-ops)\c
-\& and assembler syntax.
-
-For information on the syntax and pseudo-ops used by GNU \c
-.B as\c
-\&, see `\|\c
-.B as\c
-\|' entry in \c
-.B info \c
-(or the manual \c
-.I
-.I
-Using as: The GNU Assembler\c
-\&).
-
-\c
-.B as\c
-\& is primarily intended to assemble the output of the GNU C
-compiler \c
-.B gcc\c
-\& for use by the linker \c
-.B ld\c
-\&. Nevertheless,
-we've tried to make \c
-.B as\c
-\& assemble correctly everything that the native
-assembler would.
-This doesn't mean \c
-.B as\c
-\& 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.
-
-Each time you run \c
-.B as\c
-\& it assembles exactly one source
-program. The source program is made up of one or more files.
-(The standard input is also a file.)
-
-If \c
-.B as\c
-\& is given no file names it attempts to read one input file
-from the \c
-.B as\c
-\& standard input, which is normally your terminal. You
-may have to type \c
-.B ctl-D\c
-\& to tell \c
-.B as\c
-\& there is no more program
-to assemble. Use `\|\c
-.B \-\^\-\c
-\|' if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
-in your command line.
-
-.B as\c
-\& may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
-file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when \c
-.B as\c
-\& is
-run automatically by a compiler. Warnings report an assumption made so
-that \c
-.B as\c
-\& could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
-grave problem that stops the assembly.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BR \-a
-Turn on assembly listings. There are various suboptions.
-.B d
-omits debugging directives.
-.B h
-includes the high level source code; this is only available if the
-source file can be found, and the code was compiled with
-.B \-g.
-.B l
-includes an assembly listing.
-.B n
-omits forms processing.
-.B s
-includes a symbol listing.
-.B =
-.I file
-sets the listing file name; this must be the last suboption.
-The default suboptions are
-.B hls.
-.TP
-.B \-D
-This option is accepted only for script compatibility with calls to
-other assemblers; it has no effect on \c
-.B as\c
-\&.
-.TP
-.B \-\-defsym SYM=VALUE
-Define the symbol SYM to be VALUE before assembling the input file.
-VALUE must be an integer constant. As in C, a leading 0x indicates a
-hexadecimal value, and a leading 0 indicates an octal value.
-.TP
-.B \-f
-``fast''--skip preprocessing (assume source is compiler output).
-.TP
-.BI "\-I\ " path
-Add
-.I path
-to the search list for
-.B .include
-directives.
-.TP
-.B \-\-gstabs
-Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line. This
-may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.
-.TP
-.B \-K
-Issue warnings when difference tables altered for long displacements.
-.TP
-.B \-L
-Keep (in symbol table) local symbols, starting with `\|\c
-.B L\c
-\|'
-.TP
-.B \-M, \-\-mri
-Assemble in MRI compatibility mode.
-.TP
-.BI "\-o\ " objfile
-Name the object-file output from \c
-.B as
-.TP
-.B \-R
-Fold data section into text section
-.TP
-.B \-\-traditional\-format
-Use same format as native assembler, when possible.
-.TP
-.B \-v
-Announce \c
-.B as\c
-\& version
-.TP
-.B \-W, \-\-no-warn
-Suppress warning messages.
-.TP
-.B \-\-fatal\-warnings
-Consider warnings to be fatal.
-.TP
-.B \-\-warn
-Just warn on warnings.
-.TP
-.IR "\-\^\-" "\ |\ " "files\|.\|.\|."
-Source files to assemble, or standard input (\c
-.BR "\-\^\-" ")"
-.TP
-.BI \-A var
-.I
-(When configured for Intel 960.)
-Specify which variant of the 960 architecture is the target.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-.I
-(When configured for Intel 960.)
-Add code to collect statistics about branches taken.
-.TP
-.B \-no-relax
-.I
-(When configured for Intel 960.)
-Do not alter compare-and-branch instructions for long displacements;
-error if necessary.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-.I
-(When configured for Motorola 68000).
-.br
-Shorten references to undefined symbols, to one word instead of two.
-.TP
-.BR "\-mc68000" "\||\|" "\-mc68010" "\||\|" "\-mc68020"
-.I
-(When configured for Motorola 68000).
-.br
-Specify what processor in the 68000 family is the target (default 68020)
-
-.PP
-Options may be in any order, and may be
-before, after, or between file names. The order of file names is
-significant.
-
-`\|\c
-.B \-\^\-\c
-\|' (two hyphens) by itself names the standard input file
-explicitly, as one of the files for \c
-.B as\c
-\& to assemble.
-
-Except for `\|\c
-.B \-\^\-\c
-\|' any command line argument that begins with a
-hyphen (`\|\c
-.B \-\c
-\|') is an option. Each option changes the behavior of
-\c
-.B as\c
-\&. No option changes the way another option works. An
-option is a `\|\c
-.B \-\c
-\|' followed by one or more letters; the case of
-the letter is important. All options are optional.
-
-The `\|\c
-.B \-o\c
-\|' option expects exactly one file name to follow. The file
-name may either immediately follow the option's letter (compatible
-with older assemblers) or it may be the next command argument (GNU
-standard).
-
-These two command lines are equivalent:
-.br
-.B
-as\ \ \-o\ \ my\-object\-file.o\ \ mumble.s
-.br
-.B
-as\ \ \-omy\-object\-file.o\ \ mumble.s
