<p><a name="index-_0040code_007bline_007d-directive-376"></a><a name="index-logical-line-number-377"></a>Change the logical line number.  <var>line-number</var> must be an absolute
 | 
						|
expression.  The next line has that logical line number.  Therefore any other

statements on the current line (after a statement separator character) are

reported as on logical line number <var>line-number</var> − 1.  One day

<span class="command">as</span> will no longer support this directive: it is recognized only
 | 
						|
for compatibility with existing assembler programs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Even though this is a directive associated with the <code>a.out</code> or
 | 
						|
<code>b.out</code> object-code formats, <span class="command">as</span> still recognizes it
 | 
						|
when producing COFF output, and treats <span class="samp">.line</span> as though it
 | 
						|
were the COFF <span class="samp">.ln</span> <em>if</em> it is found outside a
 | 
						|
<code>.def</code>/<code>.endef</code> pair.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Inside a <code>.def</code>, <span class="samp">.line</span> is, instead, one of the directives
 | 
						|
used by compilers to generate auxiliary symbol information for
 | 
						|
debugging.
