+.Sh NAME
+.Nm genassym.cf
+.Nd assym.h definition file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+file is used by
+.Xr genassym.sh 8
+to make constant C expressions known to assembler source files.
+.Pp
+Lines starting with '#' are discarded by
+.Xr genassym.sh 8 .
+Lines starting with
+.Em include ,
+.Em ifdef ,
+.Em if ,
+.Em else
+or
+.Em endif
+are preceded with '#' and passed otherwise unmodified to the C compiler.
+.Pp
+Lines starting with
+.Em quote
+get passed on with the
+.Em quote
+command removed.
+.Pp
+The first word after a
+.Em define
+command is taken as a CPP identifier and the rest of the line has to be
+a constant C expression. The output of
+.Xr genassym.sh 8
+will assign the numerical value of this expression to the CPP identifier.
+.Pp
+.Em "export foo"
+.br
+is a shorthand for
+.br
+.Em "define foo foo" .
+.Pp
+.Em "struct foo"
+.br
+remembers foo for the
+.Em member
+command and does a
+.br
+.Em "define FOO_SIZEOF sizeof(foo)" ,
+.br
+with the structure name converted to upper
+case.
+.Pp
+.Em "member foo"
+.br
+does a
+.br
+.Em "define FOO offsetof(<last struct>, foo)" .
+.br
+The two argument form of
+.Em "member" ,
+as
+.br
+.Em "member foo bar"
+.br
+does a
+.br
+.Em "define FOO offsetof(<last struct>, bar)" ,
+.br
+with its first argument converted to upper case. In the case where struct was
+invoked with an extra argument, as in
+.br
+.Em "struct foo PREFIX_" ,
+.br
+the first argument of member will be prefixed by the remembered prefix, before
+being converted to upper case.
+.Pp
+.Em "config <ctype> <gcc constraint> <asm print modifier>"
+.br
+can be used to customize the output of
+.Xr genassym.sh 8 .
+.br
+When producing C output, values are casted to <ctype> (default: long)
+before they get handed to printf. <gcc constraint> (default: n) is the
+constraint used in the __asm__ statements. <asm print modifier> (default:
+empty) can be used to force gcc to output operands in different ways
+then normal. The "a" modifier e.g. stops gcc from emitting immediate
+prefixes in front of constants for the i386 and m68k port.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The first use of
+.Nm
+files occured in
+.Ox 2.2 .
+Its use was generalized to all ports for
+.Ox 3.0 .
