(D)ump
lJsing the Dump
~ommand
Dump
Purpose:
Displays the contents of the specified range of memory.
Syntax:
D[range]
Comments:
If you specify a range of addresses with the D (dump) command,
the contents of the range are displayed. If you don't use parame-
ters
with the D command, 128 bytes are displayed at the first
address
(DS:I00) after the address displayed by the previous D
command.
The dump is displayed in two portions: a hexadecimal dump
(each byte is shown in hexadecimal value) and an ASCII dump (the
bytes are shown in ASCII characters). Nonprinting characters are
denoted by a period (.) in the ASCII portion ofthe display. Each
display line
shows 16 bytes, with a hyphen between the eighth
and ninth bytes. At times, displays are split in this chapter to
fit them on the page. Each displayed line begins on a 16-byte
boundary.
Examples:
If you type the command:
dcs:100 110
debug displays the dump in the following format:
04BA: 01 00 42 45 52 54 41 ••• 4E 44 TOM SAWYER
If you simply type the D command, the display is formatted as
described above. Each line
of the display begins with an address,
incremented by 16 from the address on the previous line.
Each
subsequent D (typed without parameters) displays the bytes
immediately following those last displayed.
