+@cindex architectures, SPARC
+@cindex SPARC architectures
+The SPARC chip family includes several successive levels (or other
+variants) of chip, using the same core instruction set, but including
+a few additional instructions at each level.
+
+By default, @code{@value{AS}} assumes the core instruction set (SPARC
+v6), but ``bumps'' the architecture level as needed: it switches to
+successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that
+only exist in the higher levels.
+
+@table @code
+@kindex -Av6
+@kindex Av7
+@kindex -Av8
+@kindex -Av9
+@kindex -Asparclite
+@item -Av6 | -Av7 | -Av8 | -Av9 | -Asparclite
+Use one of the @samp{-A} options to select one of the SPARC
+architectures explicitly.  If you select an architecture explicitly,
+@code{@value{AS}} reports a fatal error if it encounters an instruction
+or feature requiring a higher level.
+
+@item -bump
+Permit the assembler to ``bump'' the architecture level as required, but
+warn whenever it is necessary to switch to another level.

+@cindex SPARC machine directives
+@cindex machine directives, SPARC
+The Sparc version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
+machine directives:
+
+@table @code
+@cindex @code{align} directive, SPARC
+@item .align
+This must be followed by the desired alignment in bytes.
+
+@cindex @code{common} directive, SPARC
+@item .common
+This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
+@code{"bss"}.  This behaves somewhat like @code{.comm}, but the
+syntax is different.
+
+@cindex @code{half} directive, SPARC
+@item .half
+This is functionally identical to @code{.short}.
+
+@cindex @code{proc} directive, SPARC
+@item .proc
+This directive is ignored.  Any text following it on the same
+line is also ignored.
+
+@cindex @code{reserve} directive, SPARC
+@item .reserve
+This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
+@code{"bss"}.  This behaves somewhat like @code{.lcomm}, but the
+syntax is different.
+
+@cindex @code{seg} directive, SPARC
+@item .seg
+This must be followed by @code{"text"}, @code{"data"}, or
+@code{"data1"}.  It behaves like @code{.text}, @code{.data}, or
+@code{.data 1}.
+
+@cindex @code{skip} directive, SPARC
+@item .skip
+This is functionally identical to the @code{.space} directive.
+
+@cindex @code{word} directive, SPARC
+@item .word
+On the Sparc, the @code{.word} directive produces 32 bit values,
+instead of the 16 bit values it produces on many other machines.
+
+@cindex @code{xword} directive, SPARC
+@item .xword
+On the Sparc V9 processor, the @code{.xword} directive produces
+64 bit values.
