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:
o If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output.
o 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".
o 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.
