.type — Set Type Attribute
Syntax
.type type
Description
type
The .type directive sets the type attribute of the symbol referenced by the current
attribute block (see .def directive). For a discussion of fundamental and derived
types, see section 1.4.8.7 Type Entry. This directive can appear at most once
per symbol attribute block.
The .type directive can also be used in conjunction with the -L command line
flag to provide type information for symbols. When the -L command line flag is
used, this directive does not have to appear within a symbol attribute block; the
type it specifies is associated with the most recently defined label. Function types
can only be attributed to labels defined in text-type sections.
Example
