EXAMINE -- Displays the values of one or more variables.
FORMAT
-Ascii
-Binary
-Decimal
-Hex
Examine variable1 ... variableN -Octal
-Unsigned
-Float
-Real
-DOUble
REQUIRED ARGUMENT
variable One or more program variables (of any data type) or debugger
variables.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
Each of the following optional arguments causes EXAMINE to ignore the data
types of all variables in the list and to display the data in a specific
way.
-Ascii Displays the data as one or more ASCII characters. (An ASCII
value takes up 8 bits, so a 32-bit variable will be translated
as 4 consecutive ASCII values.)
-Binary Displays the data in binary (base 2) format.
-Decimal Displays the data in decimal (base 10) format.
-Hex Displays the data in hexadecimal (base 16) format.
-Octal Displays the data in octal (base 8) integral format.
-Unsigned Displays the data in unsigned decimal format.
-Float Displays the data in 32-bit (single-precision) floating-point
format.
-Real Identical to -Float.
-DOUble Displays the data in 64-bit (double-precision) floating-point
format.
Note that data is never converted (cast).
DESCRIPTION
Use the EXAMINE command to display the current value of one or more
variables. The variables can be of any data type. If you specify
a compound variable (such as an array, structure, or record) EXAMINE
displays the value of each component comprising the variable.
You can optionally specify one formatting option (e.g., -Hex). The option
may precede or follow the list of variables but cannot be placed in the
middle of the list.
The PRINT command provides you with an alternative way to display the
contents of a simple variable.
