<a name="index-_002dL"></a>
<a name="index-local-symbols_002c-retaining-in-output"></a>
<p>Symbols beginning with system-specific local label prefixes, typically
&lsquo;<samp>.L</samp>&rsquo; for ELF systems or &lsquo;<samp>L</samp>&rsquo; for traditional a.out systems, are
called <em>local symbols</em>. See <a href="Symbol-Names.html#Symbol-Names">Symbol Names</a>. Normally you do not see
such symbols when debugging, because they are intended for the use of
programs (like compilers) that compose assembler programs, not for your
notice. Normally both <code>as</code> and <code>ld</code> discard
such symbols, so you do not normally debug with them.
</p>
<p>This option tells <code>as</code> to retain those local symbols
in the object file. Usually if you do this you also tell the linker
<code>ld</code> to preserve those symbols.
