LLVM-AS(1)                           LLVM                           LLVM-AS(1)

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:

       o If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output.

       o 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.

       o 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.
