aster(1)
Name
aster - assembler for the URSA architecture
Synopsis
aster [-s|-g] [-hv?] [-I path] [-o outfile] [file]
Description
The aster command creates a relocatable ELF object file from an assembly language source file. If no file is specified, or if “-” is specified as the file argument, then the standard input is used. As is tradition, if no output file is named, then output is written to a file named “a.out”. Despite the name, this file is not in the a.out format of 4.3BSD.
Options
The following flags may be specified in any order.
- -g
- Print a representation of the program in GraphViz format suitable for processing by dot(1). It is an error to specify both this option and the -s option.
- -h, -?
- Print a brief help message and exit.
- -I path
- Add path to the list of directories to be searched for files included by .include directives. If multiple -I options are specified, the named directories are searched in the order they were added.
- -o outfile
- Write the resulting object to outfile instead of to “a.out”
- -s
- Print a representation of the internal state upon exit. It is an error to specify both this option and the -g option.
- -v
- Print the version of the program and exit.
Exit Status
The aster utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
