as: Assemble the output to a given file.
$ as ${file-s} -o ${out-o}
try on your machine
This command is using the "as" utility to assemble an input file and store the output in a specified file.
- "${file-s}" is a placeholder for the input file name. It is indicating that the value of the variable "file" should be used, and if it is not defined, then "s" should be used as a default value for the input file name.
- "-o" is an option specifying the output file.
- "${out-o}" is a placeholder for the output file name. It is indicating that the value of the variable "out" should be used, and if it is not defined, then "o" should be used as a default value for the output file name.
So, when executing this command, the "as" utility will assemble the contents of the input file (which can be defined by the variable "file" or using the default value "s") and output the result to the file specified by the variable "out" (or using the default value "o").
