as − assembler
as [ − ] [ −o objfile ] file ...
As assembles the concatenation of the named files. If the optional first argument − is used, all undefined symbols in the assembly are treated as global.
The output of the assembly is left on the file objfile; if that is omitted, a.out is used. It is executable if no errors occurred during the assembly, and if there were no unresolved external references.

UNIX Assembler Manual by D. M. Ritchie
When an input file cannot be read, its name followed by a question mark is typed and assembly ceases. When syntactic or semantic errors occur, a single-character diagnostic is typed out together with the line number and the file name in which it occurred. Errors in pass 1 cause cancellation of pass 2. The possible errors are:
