| 25 | DESCRIPTION |
| 26 | </h3> |
| 27 | |
| John Criswell | 6775392 | 2003-09-26 02:59:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | The llvm-as command is the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing human |
| 29 | readable LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bytecode, and writes the |
| 30 | result into a file or to standard output. |
| 31 | <p> |
| John Criswell | ecf32e5 | 2003-09-11 19:58:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | |
| John Criswell | 6775392 | 2003-09-26 02:59:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | If filename is omitted or is -, then llvm-as reads its input from standard |
| 34 | input. |
| 35 | <p> |
| 36 | |
| 37 | If an output file is not specified with the -o option, then llvm-as sends its |
| 38 | output to a file or standard output by the following logic: |
| 39 | |
| 40 | <ul> |
| 41 | <li> |
| 42 | If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output. |
| 43 | <p> |
| 44 | |
| 45 | <li> |
| 46 | If the input is a file that ends with .ll, then the output file is of |
| 47 | the same name, except that the suffix is changed to .bc. |
| 48 | <p> |
| 49 | |
| 50 | <li> |
| 51 | If the input is a file that does not end with the .ll suffix, then the |
| 52 | output file has the same name as the input file, except that the .bc suffix |
| 53 | is appended. |
| 54 | <p> |
| 55 | </ul> |

| 57 | <h3> |
| 58 | OPTIONS |
| 59 | </h3> |
| 60 | |
| 61 | <ul> |
| 62 | <li> -f |
| 63 | <br> |
| 64 | Force overwrite. Normally, llvm-as will refuse to overwrite an output |
| 65 | file that already exists. With this option, llvm-as will overwrite the |
| 66 | output file and replace it with new bytecode. |
| 67 | <p> |
| 68 | |
| 69 | <li> -help |
| 70 | <br> |
| 71 | Print a summary of command line options. |
| 72 | <p> |
| 73 | |
| 74 | <li> -o <filename> |
| 75 | <br> |
| John Criswell | 6775392 | 2003-09-26 02:59:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | Specify the output filename. If filename is -, then llvm-as sends its |
| 77 | output to standard output. |
| John Criswell | ecf32e5 | 2003-09-11 19:58:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 78 | <p> |
| 79 | |
| 80 | <li> -stats |
| 81 | <br> |
| 82 | Print statistics. |
| 83 | <p> |
| 84 | |
| 85 | <li> -time-passes |
| 86 | <br> |
| 87 | Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard |
| 88 | error. |
| 89 | <p> |
| 90 | </ul> |
| 91 | |
| 92 | <h3> |
| 93 | EXIT STATUS |
| 94 | </h3> |
| 95 | |
| 96 | If llvm-as succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it |
| 97 | will exit with a non-zero value. |
