2.5 Control Informational Messages: --info, --no-info ¶

In some cases, as might give additional informational messages associated to a context that generated a warning or error message when assembling. The informational message provides additional details about an earlier diagnostic message, usually in the form of some context (such as when the earlier diagnostic was within a macro). All such information are directed to the standard error file. This flag only affects the informational messages, it does not change any particular of how as assembles your file.

The option --info is enabled by default, and enables printing of additional diagnostic information.

You can switch the option --info off by specifying --no-info, which disables printing of additional information in the context of an earlier diagnostic.

Specifying --info after --no-info will turn on again printing of additional diagnostic information.
