Parameters

location
     Specifies  one  or  more  locations  whose  contents  are  to  be
     displayed.    Multiple   locations   can   be   specified   in  a
     comma-separated   list   or    colon-separated    range.     Both
     comma-separated lists and colon-separated ranges can be specified
     on a single command line.

     The location parameter can also be represented by  the  backslash
     operator  (\).   This operator is used to observe the contents of
     the location displayed in the previous EXAMINE command.

     If you do not  supply  a  location,  the  contents  of  the  next
     sequential location will be displayed.
