#### AMD 29K Machine Directives

`.block` size`,` fill``
  This directive emits size bytes, each of value fill. Both size and fill are absolute expressions. If the comma and fill are omitted, fill is assumed to be zero.

  In other versions of the GNU assembler, this directive is called `.space`.

`.cputype`
  This directive is ignored; it is accepted for compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.
`.file`
  This directive is ignored; it is accepted for compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.

  > Warning: in other versions of the GNU assembler, `.file` is used for the directive called `.app-file` in the AMD 29K support.

`.line`
  This directive is ignored; it is accepted for compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.
`.sect`
  This directive is ignored; it is accepted for compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.
`.use` section name``
  Establishes the section and subsection for the following code; section name may be one of `.text`, `.data`, `.data1`, or `.lit`. With one of the first three section name options, `.use` is equivalent to the machine directive section name; the remaining case, `.use .lit`, is the same as `.data 200`.
