linux - How to print a single ASCII char?

Question

In DOS Assembly we can do this:

mov dl, 41h
mov ah, 02h
int 21h

But how about Linux nasm x86 Assembly?

Answer 1

section     .data

msg     db  'H'
len     equ $ - msg


section     .text
global      _start

_start:

mov     edx,len
mov     ecx,msg
mov     ebx,1    ;file descriptor (stdout)
mov     eax,4    ;system call number (sys_write)
int     0x80

mov     eax,1    ;system call number (sys_exit)
int     0x80

Writing a single character may not produce the desired output, because depending on the terminal settings, it may be cached, so you may need to flush the output, to make sure that it appears wherever you write to.
