8A(1) 8A(1)
NAME
0a, 5a, 6a, 8a, 9a, ka, qa, va - assemblers
SYNOPSIS
8a [ option ... ] [ name ... ]
etc.
DESCRIPTION
These programs assemble the named files into object files
for the corresponding architectures; see 8c(1) for the cor-
respondence between an architecture and the character (6, 8,
etc.) that specifies it. The assemblers handle the most
common C preprocessor directives and the associated
command-line options -D and -I. Other options are:
-o obj
Place output in file obj (allowed only if there is just
one input file). Default is to take the last element
of the input path name, strip any trailing .s, and
append .O, where O is first letter of the assembler's
name.
FILES
The directory /sys/include is searched for include files
after machine-dependent files in /$objtype/include.
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/8a, etc.

BUGS
The list of assemblers given above is only partial, not all
architectures are supported on all systems, some have been
retired and some are provided by third parties.
