The LWTOOLS assembler is called LWASM. This chapter documents the various features of the assembler. It is not, however, a tutorial on 6x09 assembly language programming.
The binary for LWASM is called "lwasm". Note that the binary is in lower case. lwasm takes the following command line arguments.
--decb, -bSelect the DECB output format target. Equivalent to --format=decb.
--format=type, -f typeSelect the output format. Valid values are obj for the object
file target, decb for the DECB LOADM format, and raw
for a raw binary.
--list[=file], -l[file]Cause LWASM to generate a listing. If file is specified,
the listing will go to that file. Otherwise it will go to the standard output
stream. By default, no listing is generated.
--objSelect the proprietary object file format as the output target.
--output=FILE, -o FILEThis option specifies the name of the output file. If not specified, the
default is a.out.
--pragma=pragma, -p pragmaSpecify assembler pragmas. Multiple pragmas are separated by commas. The pragmas accepted are the same as for the PRAGMA assembler directive described below.
--raw, -rSelect raw binary as the output target.
--help, -?Present a help screen describing the command line options.
--usageProvide a summary of the command line options.
--version, -VDisplay the software version.
--debug, -dIncrease the debugging level. Only really useful to people hacking on the LWASM source code itself.
