XENIX Programming Programming Commands
masm - Invokes the XENIX assembler.
Syntax
masm [option ... ] sourcefile ...
Description
masm is the XENIX assembler. It reads and assembles 8086/80286 assem bly language
instructions from the source file named sourcefile. It then creates a linkable object file
named sourcefile.o, or an executable program named a.out. The extension .s is
recommended but not required. If this extension is not given, masm displays a warning
and continues processing. There are the following options:
-a
- bnum
-c
-c
-d
-Dsym
-e
- Ipath
- llistfile
- Mx
- Mu
Puts the assembled output segments in alphabetic order before copying
them to the object file.
Specifies the 1/0 buffer size in Kbytes for source, include, and object
files {not .crf or .1st files). The valid range of values is 1 to 64. The
default is 16K bytes.
Outputs cross reference data for each assembled file to filename.crf.
Outputs cross reference data for a set of assembled files. The cross
reference data is written to files with the same name as the input files,
with the filename extension "crf''.
Adds a pass 1 listing to the assembly listing file filename.lst.
Defines the symbol appended to the -D flag as a null TEXTMACRO.
Generates floating point code to emulate the 8087 or 80287 coprocessor.
Programs created with this option must be linked with an appropriate
math library before being executed.
Defines the path appended to the -1 flag as the search path for include
files. Up to 10 include paths are allowed in one invocation of masm.
Creates an assembly listing file with the same basename as the sourcefile
or, if the listfile parameter is given, with that name but with a .1st
extension. The file lists the source instructions, the assembled {binary
code) for each instruction, and any assembly errors. If file name is "-",
the listing is written to stdout.
Directs masm to preserve lower case letters in public and external names
only when copying these names to the object file. For all other purposes,
masm converts the lower case to upper case.
Disables case sensitivity. Upper case is now treated identically to lower
case.
