NAME¶
llvm-as - LLVM assembler
SYNOPSIS¶
llvm-as [
options] [
filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
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
filename is omitted or is "-", then
llvm-as reads its
input from standard input.
If an output file is not specified with the
-o option, then
llvm-as sends its output to a file or standard output by following
these rules:
- •
- If the input is standard input, then the output is standard
output.
- •
- If the input is a file that ends with ".ll", then
the output file is of the same name, except that the suffix is changed to
".bc".
- •
- If the input is a file that does not end with the
".ll" suffix, then the output file has the same name as the
input file, except that the ".bc" suffix is appended.
OPTIONS¶
- -f
- Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, llvm-as
will refuse to write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a
terminal. With this option, llvm-as will write raw bitcode
regardless of the output device.
- -help
- Print a summary of command line options.
- -o filename
- Specify the output file name. If filename is
"-", then llvm-as sends its output to standard
output.
EXIT STATUS¶
If
llvm-as succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs,
it will exit with a non-zero value.
