man llvm-as (Commandes) - LLVM assembler
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 bytecode, and writes the result into a file or to standard output.
If filename is omitted or is CW-, 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 CW.ll, then the output file is of the same name, except that the suffix is changed to CW.bc.
- •
- If the input is a file that does not end with the CW.ll suffix, then the output file has the same name as the input file, except that the CW.bc suffix is appended.
OPTIONS
- -f
- Force overwrite. Normally, llvm-as will refuse to overwrite an output file that already exists. With this option, llvm-as will overwrite the output file and replace it with new bytecode.
- --help
- Print a summary of command line options.
- -o filename
- Specify the output file name. If filename is CW-, then llvm-as sends its output to standard output.
- --stats
- Print statistics.
- --time-passes
- Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard error.
EXIT STATUS
If llvm-as succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
