(N)ame
Name
Purpose:
Sets filenames.
Syntax:
Nfilename [filename ... ]
Comments:
The N (name) command performs two functions. First, it assigns
a filename for a
later L (load) or W (write) command. So, if you
start
debug without naming a file to be debugged, you must type
the command Nfilename before a file can be loaded. Second, the
N command assigns filename parameters to the file being
debugged. In this case, N accepts a list of parameters used by the
file being debugged.
Note that these
two functions overlap. ConSider, for example, the
following set of debug commands:
-NFILE1.EXE
-L
-G
The N command would use these commands to perform the fol-
lowing steps:
m It would first assign the filenamefile1.exe to the file to be
used in any later L or W commands.
III It would also assign thefile1.exe filename to the first filename
parameter used by any program that is later debugged.
rn The L command would then loadfile1.exe into memory.
m The G (go) command would causefile1.exe to be run with
file1.exe as the single filename parameter (that is,filel.exe
would be run as if file 1. exe had been typed at the command
level).
A
more useful chain of commands might look like this:
-NF I LE1 • EXE
-L
-NFILE2.DAT FILE3.DAT
-G
