unless you tell @code{@value{AS}} to
give it another name by using the @code{-o} option. Conventionally,
object file names end with @file{.o}. The default name of
@file{a.out} is used for historical reasons: older assemblers were
capable of assembling self-contained programs directly into a
runnable program.

@code{a.out} format.)
