<p><a name="index-error-messages-40"></a><a name="index-warning-messages-41"></a><a name="index-messages-from-assembler-42"></a><span class="command">as</span> may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
 | 
						|
file (usually your terminal).  This should not happen when  a compiler
 | 
						|
runs <span class="command">as</span> automatically.  Warnings report an assumption made so
 | 
						|
that <span class="command">as</span> could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
 | 
						|
grave problem that stops the assembly.

<p><a name="index-format-of-warning-messages-43"></a>Warning messages have the format
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">     file_name:<b>NNN</b>:Warning Message Text
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p class="noindent"><a name="index-line-numbers_002c-in-warnings_002ferrors-44"></a>(where <b>NNN</b> is a line number).  If a logical file name has been given
 | 
						|
(see <a href="File.html#File"><code>.file</code></a>) it is used for the filename, otherwise the name of
 | 
						|
the current input file is used.  If a logical line number was given
 | 
						|
(see <a href="Line.html#Line"><code>.line</code></a>)
 | 
						|
then it is used to calculate the number printed,
 | 
						|
otherwise the actual line in the current source file is printed.  The
 | 
						|
message text is intended to be self explanatory (in the grand Unix
 | 
						|
tradition).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p><a name="index-format-of-error-messages-45"></a>Error messages have the format
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">     file_name:<b>NNN</b>:FATAL:Error Message Text
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p>The file name and line number are derived as for warning
 | 
						|
messages.  The actual message text may be rather less explanatory
 | 
						|
because many of them aren't supposed to happen.
