(N)ame Name
Purpose:
Sets filenames.
Syntax:
^filename [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 t j
file being debugged.
Note that these two functions overlap. Consider, for example, the
following set of debug commands: i)
-NFILE1.EXE
The N command would use these commands to perform the fol
lowing steps:
H It would first assign the filename filel.exe to the file to be
used in any later L or W commands. i i
[2 It would also assign xh^ filel.exe filename to the first filename
parameter used by any program that is later debugged.
S The L command would then load filel.exe into memory.
El The G (go) command would cause filel.exe to be run with
filel.exe as the single filename parameter (that is, filel.exe
would be run as iffilel.exe had been typed at the command i )
level). w
A more useful chain of commands might look like this:
-NFILE1.EXE
-NFILE2.DAT FILE3.DAT
-G
