.desc symbol directive ?

[K. Ahmed Feroz]

Hi all,

".desc symbol, abs-expression"

This directive sets the descriptor of the symbol (see Symbol Attributes)
to the low 16 bits of an absolute expression."

Does the above description means the following

.....
.desc func 0x102ff
.....

After the assembler output

'st_value' field of symbol_table should hold the value '0x02ff'

Is my understanding correct?
