Optionally, run and init addresses can be included. Also, +using \fB\-o\fP and \fB\-s\fP, it\(aqs possible to include only part of the +input file. To read from standard input, use \fB\-\fP for the \fIinfile\fP\&. +.sp +Only one \fIoutfile\fP is supported. When multiple input files are used, +the resulting .xex file will have multiple segments. Use \fB\-\fP to +write to standard output. +.sp +Addresses, offsets, and sizes may be given in decimal or hex. Hex +addresses must be prefixed with either \fB$\fP or \fB0x\fP\&. +.SH OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-l \fIloadaddr\fP +Set the load address of the next \fIinfile\fP\&. Each \fIinfile\fP must be preceded by +a \fB\-l\fP option. +.TP +.B \-r \fIrunaddr\fP +Optional; set the run address. Since a .xex file can only have one run address, +the last \fB\-r\fP option will be the one used when the file is loaded on the Atari. +.TP +.B \-i \fIinitaddr\fP +Optional; set an init address, to be executed after the next segment loads. +.TP +.B \-o \fIoffset\fP +Optional; skip this many bytes of the next input file. Default is \fB0\fP\&. +.TP +.B \-s \fIsize\fP +Optional; read this many bytes of the next input file. Default is the entire file. +.UNINDENT +.SH EXAMPLES +.sp +TODO: come up with a few examples. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.sp +WTFPL.
