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 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.
