mixasm — the MIX virtual machine assembler

mixasm [-n | --ndebug] [-l | --list list-file] [-o | --output output-file] MIX_FILE

mixasm [-h | --help] [-u | --usage] [-v | --version]

The mixasm utility is an assembler for the MIX virtual machine. The MIX is Donald Knuth's mythical computer, described in the first volume of The Art of Computer Programming, which is programmed using MIXAL, the MIX assembly language.

The operation of the mixasm utility is not affected by its environment.

The mixasm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Compile a MIX assembly language file:

mixasm primes.mixal

Load a MIXAL program and run it in the MIX virtual machine:

mixvm -r hello.mix

gmixvm(1), mixguile(1), mixvm(1)

No standards documentation was harmed in the process of creating mixasm.

The mixasm utility was developed by Jose A. Ortega Ruiz, Pieter E. J. Pareit, Philip E. King, Michael Scholz and Sergey Poznyakoff. This manual page was written by Peter Pentchev ⟨roam@ringlet.net⟩ for the Debian Project.
