NAME

     gspa -- assembler for the GSP chip

SYNOPSIS

     gspa [-c c_array_name] [-l list_file] [-o hex_file] [infile]

DESCRIPTION

     gspa is an assembler for the TMS34010 and TMS34020 graphics processor chips.

     The supported options are:
     -c c_array_name
		  Create a pre-initialized C-structure c_array_name with the hex code of the assembler output.
     -l list_file
		  Create commented (with the input file) hex code of the assembler output in list_file.
     -o hex_file  Create the output in hex_file.  If -c is used, C code will be written to hex_file, otherwise uncommented hex code of the assem-
		  bler output will be written.

     If no -o option is given, output will be written to stdout.

     If no infile is given, input will be read from stdin.

HISTORY

     gspa appeared in NetBSD 1.1.

AUTHORS

GENASSYM(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       GENASSYM(1)

NAME

     genassym -- emit an assym.h file

SYNOPSIS

     genassym [-c] [-f] C compiler invocation

DESCRIPTION

     genassym is a shell script normally used during the kernel build process to create an assym.h file.  This file defines a number of cpp con-
     stants derived from the configuration information genassym reads from stdin. The generated file is used by kernel sources written in assem-
     bler to gain access to information (e.g. structure offsets and sizes) normally only known to the C compiler.

     Arguments to genassym are usually of the form ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${CPPFLAGS} where ${CC} is the C compiler used to compile the kernel, while
     ${CFLAGS} and ${CPPFLAGS} are flag arguments to the C compiler. The script creates a C source file from its input. Then the C compiler is
     called according to the script's arguments to compile this file.

     Normally genassym instructs the C compiler to create an assembler source from the constructed C source. The resulting file is then processed
     to extract the information needed to create the assym.h file. The -c flag instructs genassym to create slightly different code, generate an
     executable from this code and run it. In both cases the assym.h file is written to stdout.  The -f flag instructs genassym to create forth
     code.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Either self-explanatory, or generated by one of the programs called from the script.

HISTORY

     The genassym command appeared in NetBSD 1.3 as ``genassym.sh'' in /usr/src/sys/kern.  It became a userland utility in NetBSD 4.0.
