72<p>This directive emits <var>number</var> copies of <var>fill</var>, each of <var>size</var>
73bytes.  Both <var>number</var> and <var>fill</var> are absolute expressions.  If the
74comma and <var>fill</var> are omitted, <var>fill</var> is assumed to be zero.  The
75<var>size</var> suffix, if present, must be one of:
76</p>
77<dl compact="compact">
78<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.b</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
79<dd><p>Emits single byte values.
80</p></dd>
81<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.d</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
82<dd><p>Emits double-precision floating point values.
83</p></dd>
84<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
85<dd><p>Emits 4-byte values.
86</p></dd>
87<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
88<dd><p>Emits single-precision floating point values.
89</p></dd>
90<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.w</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
91<dd><p>Emits 2-byte values.
92</p></dd>
93<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.x</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
94<dd><p>Emits long double-precision floating point values.
95</p></dd>
96</dl>
97
98<p>If the <var>size</var> suffix is omitted then &lsquo;<samp>.w</samp>&rsquo; is assumed.
99</p>
100<p>The byte ordering is target dependent, as is the size and format of floating
101point values.
