System Dump Analyzer EXAMINE — VMS 5.5
EXAMINE [/qualifier...] [range]
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).
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 contents of
memory in hexadecimal longwords. Do not specify parameters when
you use this qualifier.
Additional information available:
/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
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
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
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.
