NAME

asm, disdump − Dis assembler, Dis disassembler

SYNOPSIS

­asm [-l] ­file
­disdump file...

DESCRIPTION

­Asm reads one Dis assembly language ­file and translates it into instructions for the Dis virtual machine.  The output is written to a file whose name is created by taking the last element of the input file, stripping any extension, and appending ­.dis For example, the output file for ­abc would be abc.dis; the output file for dir/def.s, would be def.dis. 

The assembler has one option:

­-l Generate a listing, showing the generated object code. 

­Disdump prints to the standard output the Dis virtual machine instructions in each of its Dis ­file arguments.

BUGS

There isn’t a Limbo version of asm, which is therefore available only as a host command; but then again it is hardly used.
