NAME

2a, 6a, 8a, ka, va, xa − assemblers

SYNOPSIS

­2a [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]
­6a [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]
­8a [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]
­ka [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]
­va [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]
­xa [ ­option ...  ] [ ­name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

2a, 6a, 8a, ka, va, and xa assemble the named files into MC68020, i960, i386, SPARC, MIPS, and ATT3210 object files.  The assemblers handle the most common C preprocessor directives and the associated command-line options -D and -I.  Other options are:

-o obj Place output in file ­obj (allowed only if there is just one input file).  Default is to take the last element of the input path name, strip any trailing .s, and append .O, where ­O is first letter of the assembler’s name. 

FILES

The directory ­/sys/include is searched for include files after machine-dependent files in /$objtype/include. 

SOURCE

/sys/src/cmd/2a, etc.
