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

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

.line

.sect

.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.
