as: Z8000 Directives

 
 9.56.3 Assembler Directives for the Z8000
 -----------------------------------------
 
 The Z8000 port of as includes additional assembler directives, for
 compatibility with other Z8000 assemblers.  These do not begin with '.'
 (unlike the ordinary as directives).
 
 'segm'
 '.z8001'
      Generate code for the segmented Z8001.
 
 'unsegm'
 '.z8002'
      Generate code for the unsegmented Z8002.
 
 'name'
      Synonym for '.file'
 
 'global'
      Synonym for '.global'
 
 'wval'
      Synonym for '.word'
 
 'lval'
      Synonym for '.long'
 
 'bval'
      Synonym for '.byte'
 
 'sval'
      Assemble a string.  'sval' expects one string literal, delimited by
      single quotes.  It assembles each byte of the string into
      consecutive addresses.  You can use the escape sequence '%XX'
      (where XX represents a two-digit hexadecimal number) to represent
      the character whose ASCII value is XX.  Use this feature to
      describe single quote and other characters that may not appear in
      string literals as themselves.  For example, the C statement
      'char *a = "he said \"it's 50% off\"";' is represented in Z8000
      assembly language (shown with the assembler output in hex at the
      left) as
 
           68652073    sval    'he said %22it%27s 50%25 off%22%00'
           61696420
           22697427
           73203530
           25206F66
           662200
 
 'rsect'
      synonym for '.section'
 
 'block'
      synonym for '.space'
 
 'even'
      special case of '.align'; aligns output to even byte boundary.
