1 llvm-as - LLVM assembler
2 ========================
9 **llvm-as** [*options*] [*filename*]
14 **llvm-as** is the LLVM assembler. It reads a file containing human-readable
15 LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bitcode, and writes the result
16 into a file or to standard output.
18 If *filename* is omitted or is ``-``, then **llvm-as** reads its input from
21 If an output file is not specified with the **-o** option, then
22 **llvm-as** sends its output to a file or standard output by following
25 * If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output.
27 * If the input is a file that ends with ``.ll``, then the output file is of the
28 same name, except that the suffix is changed to ``.bc``.
30 * If the input is a file that does not end with the ``.ll`` suffix, then the
31 output file has the same name as the input file, except that the ``.bc``
38 Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, **llvm-as** will refuse to
39 write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
40 **llvm-as** will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.
43 Print a summary of command line options.
46 Specify the output file name. If *filename* is ``-``, then **llvm-as**
47 sends its output to standard output.
52 If **llvm-as** succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
53 will exit with a non-zero value.
