ASSEMBLE(1)

💅 ASSEMBLE(1) — assembling Perl bytecode, bestie 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

assemble — Assemble Perl bytecode. That's the name, that's the mission. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

assemble [-d] [bytecode.asm | -] [bytecode.plc]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: assemble compiles an ASCII bytecode (the kind produced by disassemble) to binary bytecode assembler. Literally the glow-up from text to binary. 💖

A bytecode file is a binary file with either the magic 4 bytes 'PLBC' at the start, or something like:

#! /usr/bin/perl
 use ByteLoader '0.07'

Typically it's got the .plc or .pmc extension. iykyk. 🎀

If the filename is -, the input is read from STDIN, and you can still provide an output filename. Flexible AND functional? Obsessed. 💅

🌈 OPTION -d 🌈

• -d — prints some debugging information. Lowkey handy when you want the extra deets. 💜

🫶 that's a wrap, bestie: perl v5.42.3, dated 2019-05-07, and yes, this is ASSEMBLE(1). periodt. 💖
