**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.

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.
