NAME
----
ptasm - Table driven assembler

SYNOPSIS
--------
**ptasm** [*-t table.py*] [*file*|**-**]


DESCRIPTION
-----------
ptasm is a table-driven assembler written primarily to assemble code
for simple embedded cores like Peter Wallace's "DumbAss8" family.
However, the passive voice hopes it is suitable to target other CPU
architectures.

OPTIONS
-------
* -t:
    Specify the instruction set table, which is a Python file that
    calls Insn() repeatedly to specify each instruction format.  The
    default is `d8_tab.py`.
