First of all, all pseudo-opcodes supported by GAS are explained in the info
node "Pseudo Ops" of the as info file.
The DB, DW and DD pseudo-ops do not exist in GAS. They come from TASM/MASM
where they stand for something like "Data {Byte,Word,Doubleword}". Their
equivalents in GAS are, respectively, `.byte', `.word' (and I think also
`.short'), and `.long'.
Hope this helps.
