Z80-ASM(1) Z80 Assembler Z80-ASM(1)NAMEz80-asm - command-line Z80 CPU assember for Unix and DO$
SYNOPSISz80-asm [-wlhcf XX] inputfile[.asm] [startaddress[[:length] :output‐
file] ]
z80-asm [-wlhcf XX] inputfile startaddress[:length]:outputfile ...
DESCRIPTIONz80-asm is a two pass compiler of the Z80 CPU assembly language. It's
first argument is name of an input (source) file. If no sections follow
no code is generated. In the case of exactly one section follows and
the inputfile name ends with .asm the outputfile with its leading colon
delimiter and the optional length may be omitted. Then the output is
written to a file named inputfilename.z80 Generally each section tells
the compiler to save code to file outputfile from address start address
and with len length. Format of the file is described in z80-file(5).
If an obligate outputfile is missing compilation is aborted after this
section but error checking of the code is done. If length is ommited,
compiler saves code from start address to furthest byte stored to mem‐
ory (inclusive).
All addresses are given decimal in range from 0 to 65535 or hexadecimal
in the range from 0x0000 to 0xffff.
For assembler syntax see section z80-asm(5).
OPTIONS
Compiler called with no options or -h option prints usage. Option -w
turns on warning messages, when overwriting code in memory. Option -l
writes a source listing in pass 2 to stdout. Each input line is
prepended by PC, generated machine code and line no of 5 digits. Option
-f which must be followed by a 2 digit hexadecimal value XX sets the
undefined bytes in gaps created by DEFS and ORG statements to the given
fill value XX. Finally option -c prints a cross reference listing of
the labels to stdout in case of no errors.
BUGS
No bugs are known. :-) If you find some, please feel free to send me a
bugreport.
