as: Include a given path to the list of directories to search for files specified in `.include` directives.
$ as -I ${path-to-directory} ${file-s}
try on your machine

This command is used to invoke the GNU Assembler and assemble one or more assembly language source files.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • as: This is the command to invoke the GNU Assembler.
  • -I ${path-to-directory}: This option tells the assembler to add the specified directory to the search path for include files. ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the directory containing the necessary include files.
  • ${file-s}: This is the placeholder for the assembly language source file(s) that you want to assemble. It can represent one or more files, separated by spaces. Replace ${file-s} with the actual file name(s) or file path(s).

Overall, this command is used to assemble assembly language source files, while also specifying an additional include directory where necessary header files or dependencies can be found.
