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. SEE ALSO -------- llvm-dis|llvm-dis, gccas|gccas
