System Dump Analyzer EXAMINE — MicroVMS 4.5B

    Displays the contents of the specified memory locations.
    The range can be a single address or a range of locations given as n:m
    (n through m inclusive) or "n;m" (m bytes, starting at n,  where n and m
    are arithmetic expressions.

        Format:
                EXAMINE [/qualifier[,...]] [range]


    Type HELP EXPRESSIONS for the syntax of SDA expressions.

Additional information available:

/ALL/CONDITION_VALUE/INSTRUCTION/NOSKIP/P0
/P1/PSL/PTE/SYSTEM/TIME

/ALL

    Examines all the locations in the program and control regions
    and parts of the writeable system region, displaying the con-
    tents of memory in hexadecimal longwords.  Do not specify
    parameters when you use this qualifier.

Additional information available:

/NOSUPPRESS

/NOSUPPRESS

    This qualifier inhibits the suppression of zeros when
    displaying memory.

/CONDITION_VALUE

    Examines the specified longword, displaying the message the $GETMSG
    system service obtains for the value in the longword.

/INSTRUCTION

    Translates the specified range of memory locations into VAX MACRO
    instruction format. If more than 16 bytes are specified in the range,
    some bytes at the beginning of the range may be skipped to ensure
    that SDA is properly synchronized with the start of each instruction.
    This synchronization can be overridden by specifying the command,
    EXAMINE/INSTRUCTION/NOSKIP.

/NOSKIP

    Prevents SDA from skipping any bytes specified in the range
    when used to translate the contents of memory into VAX MACRO
    instructions. This qualifier implies the /INSTRUCTION qualifier.

/P0

    Displays the entire program region for the default process.  Do
    not specify parameters when you use this qualifier.

Additional information available:

/NOSUPPRESS

/NOSUPPRESS

    This qualifier inhibits the suppression of zeros when
    displaying memory.

/P1

    Displays the entire control region for the default process.  Do
    not specify parameters when you use this qualifier.

Additional information available:

/NOSUPPRESS

/NOSUPPRESS

    This qualifier inhibits the suppression of zeros when
    displaying memory.

/PSL

    Examines the specified longword, displaying its contents in the format
    of a processor status longword.

/PTE

    Interprets and displays the specified longword as a Page Table Entry
    (PTE).  The individual fields of the PTE are separated and an overall
    description of the PTE's type is provided.

/SYSTEM

    Prints portions of the writeable system region.  Do not specify
    parameters when you use this qualifier.

Additional information available:

/NOSUPPRESS

/NOSUPPRESS

    This qualifier inhibits the suppression of zeros when
    displaying memory.

/TIME

    Examines the specified quadword, displaying its contents in the
    format of a system-date-and-time quadword.
