#### 8.26.2 PowerPC Assembler Directives

A number of assembler directives are available for PowerPC. The following table is far from complete.

`.machine "string"`
  This directive allows you to change the machine for which code is generated. `"string"` may be any of the -m cpu selection options (without the -m) enclosed in double quotes, `"push"`, or `"pop"`. `.machine "push"` saves the currently selected cpu, which may be restored with `.machine "pop"`.
