+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.
