For @samp{priv_lev}, @var{r} is an integer.
@item .half @var{n}
-@c ?? Not in HP manual
Define a two-byte integer constant @var{n}; synonym for the portable
@code{@value{AS}} directive @code{.short}.
Define @var{name} as a label for the current assembly location.
@item .leave
-@c ?? Not in HP manual
Not yet supported; the assembler rejects programs containing this directive.
@item .origin @var{lc}
Synonym for @code{.equ}; define @var{label} with the absolute expression
@var{expr} as its value.
-@item .space @var{secname}
+@item .space @var{secname} [ ,@var{params} ]
Switch to section @var{secname}, creating a new section by that name if
-necessary. You may only use @var{keywords} when creating a new section, not
+necessary. You may only use @var{params} when creating a new section, not
when switching to an existing one. @var{secname} may identify a section by
number rather than by name.
-@c FIXME! Shouldn't there be optional parameters the first time? I don't see
-@c provision for them in pa_space.
+
+If specified, the list @var{params} declares attributes of the section,
+identified by keywords. The keywords recognized are @samp{spnum=@var{exp}}
+(identify this section by the number @var{exp}, an absolute expression),
+@samp{sort=@var{exp}} (order sections according to this sort key when linking;
+@var{exp} is an absolute expression), @samp{unloadable} (section contains no
+loadable data), @samp{notdefined} (this section defined elsewhere), and
+@samp{private} (data in this section not available to other programs).
@ignore
@item .spnum
current section. You may only specify @var{params} when you create a
subsection (in the first instance of @code{.subspa} for this @var{name}).
-If specified, @var{params} declare attributes of the subsection, identified by
-keywords. The keywords recognized are @samp{quad=@var{expr}} (``quadrant'' for
-this subsection), @samp{align=@var{expr}} (alignment for beginning of this
-subsection; a power of two), @samp{access=@var{expr}} (value for ``access
-rights'' field), @samp{sort=@var{expr}} (sorting order for this subspace in
-link), @samp{code_only} (subsection contains only code), @samp{unloadable}
-@c ?!
-(subsection cannot be loaded into memory), @samp{common} (subsection is common
-block), @samp{dup_comm} (initialized data may have duplicate names),
-or @samp{zero} (subsection is all zeros, do not write in object file).

@item .version "@var{str}"
Write @var{str} as version identifier in object code.
