<a name="index-quad-directive"></a>
<p><code>.quad</code> expects zero or more bignums, separated by commas.  For
each bignum, it emits
an 8-byte integer.  If the bignum won&rsquo;t fit in 8 bytes, it prints a
warning message; and just takes the lowest order 8 bytes of the bignum.
<a name="index-eight_002dbyte-integer"></a>
<a name="index-integer_002c-8_002dbyte"></a>
</p>
<p>The term &ldquo;quad&rdquo; comes from contexts in which a &ldquo;word&rdquo; is two bytes;
hence <em>quad</em>-word for 8 bytes.
