Structure of this Manual
This manual is intended to describe what you need to know to use GNU
`as'. We cover the syntax expected in source files, including notation
for symbols, constants, and expressions; the directives that `as'
understands; and of course how to invoke `as'.
This manual also describes some of the machine-dependent features of
various flavors of the assembler.
On the other hand, this manual is _not_ intended as an introduction
to programming in assembly language--let alone programming in general!
In a similar vein, we make no attempt to introduce the machine
architecture; we do _not_ describe the instruction set, standard
mnemonics, registers or addressing modes that are standard to a
particular architecture. You may want to consult the manufacturer's
machine architecture manual for this information.
