<sect1>Command line options in detail<p>
Here is a description of all the command line options:
<descrip>
+ <label id="option--bin-include-dir">
+ <tag><tt>--bin-include-dir dir</tt></tag>
+
+ Name a directory which is searched for binary include files. The option
+ may be used more than once to specify more than one directory to search. The
+ current directory is always searched first before considering any
+ additional directories. See also the section about <ref id="search-paths"
+ name="search paths">.
+
+
<label id="option--cpu">
<tag><tt>--cpu type</tt></tag>
command for a list of emulation features.
+ <label id="option--forget-inc-paths">
+ <tag><tt>--forget-inc-paths</tt></tag>
+
+ Forget the builtin include paths. This is most useful when building
+ customized assembler modules, in which case the standard header files should
+ be ignored.
+
+
<label id="option-g">
<tag><tt>-g, --debug-info</tt></tag>
monitor.
+ <label id="option-h">
<tag><tt>-h, --help</tt></tag>
Print the short option summary shown above.
+ <label id="option-i">
<tag><tt>-i, --ignore-case</tt></tag>
This option makes the assembler case insensitive on identifiers and labels.
<tt><ref id=".CASE" name=".CASE"></tt> control command.
+ <label id="option-l">
<tag><tt>-l, --listing</tt></tag>
Generate an assembler listing. The listing file will always have the
may change in future versions.
+ <label id="option--list-bytes">
<tag><tt>--list-bytes n</tt></tag>
Set the maximum number of bytes printed in the listing for one line of
number of printed bytes.
+ <label id="option--macpack-dir">
<tag><tt>--macpack-dir dir</tt></tag>
This options allows to specify a directory containing macro files that are
when debugging the builtin macro packages.
+ <label id="option-mm">
<tag><tt>-mm model, --memory-model model</tt></tag>
Define the default memory model. Possible model specifiers are near, far and
huge.
+ <label id="option-o">
<tag><tt>-o name</tt></tag>
The default output name is the name of the input file with the extension
the source file, or, if -o is given, the full path in this name is used.
+ <label id="option--pagelength">
<tag><tt>--pagelength n</tt></tag>
sets the length of a listing page in lines. See the <tt><ref
id=".PAGELENGTH" name=".PAGELENGTH"></tt> directive for more information.
+ <label id="option-s">
<tag><tt>-s, --smart-mode</tt></tag>
In smart mode (enabled by -s or the <tt><ref id=".SMART" name=".SMART"></tt>
compiler, see there for a list.
+ <label id="option-v">
<tag><tt>-v, --verbose</tt></tag>
Increase the assembler verbosity. Usually only needed for debugging
verbose output.
+ <label id="option-D">
<tag><tt>-D</tt></tag>
This option allows you to define symbols on the command line. Without a
you may have to quote the expression.
+ <label id="option-I">
<tag><tt>-I dir, --include-dir dir</tt></tag>
Name a directory which is searched for include files. The option may be
name="search paths">.
+ <label id="option-U">
<tag><tt>-U, --auto-import</tt></tag>
Mark symbols that are not defined in the sources as imported symbols. This
which is not always true for assembler programmers.
+ <label id="option-V">
<tag><tt>-V, --version</tt></tag>
Print the version number of the assembler. If you send any suggestions

is actually the same as
Add an assertion. The command is followed by an expression, an action
specifier, and an optional message that is output in case the assertion
fails. If no message was given, the string "Assertion failed" is used. The
- action specifier may be one of <tt/warning/ or <tt/error/. The assertion is
- evaluated by the assembler if possible, and also passed to the linker in the
- object file (if one is generated). The linker will then evaluate the
+ action specifier may be one of <tt/warning/, <tt/error/, <tt/ldwarning/ or
+ <tt/lderror/. In the former two cases, the assertion is evaluated by the
+ assembler if possible, and in any case, it's also passed to the linker in
+ the object file (if one is generated). The linker will then evaluate the
expression when segment placement has been done.
