<a name="index-global-directive"></a>
<a name="index-symbol_002c-making-visible-to-linker"></a>
<p><code>.global</code> makes the symbol visible to <code>ld</code>.  If you define
<var>symbol</var> in your partial program, its value is made available to
other partial programs that are linked with it.  Otherwise,
<var>symbol</var> takes its attributes from a symbol of the same name
from another file linked into the same program.
</p>
<p>Both spellings (&lsquo;<samp>.globl</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.global</samp>&rsquo;) are accepted, for
compatibility with other assemblers.
</p>
<p>On the HPPA, <code>.global</code> is not always enough to make it accessible to other
partial programs.  You may need the HPPA-only <code>.EXPORT</code> directive as well.
See <a href="HPPA-Directives.html#HPPA-Directives">HPPA Assembler Directives</a>.
