len: dd len-str
section .text
global _start
_start:
mov edx,[len]
mov ecx,str
mov ebx,1
mov eax,4
int 0x80

1Why do you think that `len` and `$` are different in that line? – Ruslan Jun 28 '20 at 12:01

In general, `length = end - start`. Turns out my answer on the linked duplicate actually has an example of using `$-start` vs. `end-start`. – Peter Cordes Jun 28 '20 at 12:13
