dumpfmt

PURPOSE

     Formats the VRM dump file.

SYNOPSIS
     dumpfmt [ [file] [ -asn ] [ -h ] ]

DESCRIPTION

     The dumpfmt  command formats  a file containing  VRM dump
     structures.   If you  do  not specify  a  file name,  the
     system reads data from /dev/fd0.

     By default,  dumpfmt is  an interactive  utility program.
     To see  the list  of commands  available for  selecting a
     specific structure to format, enter  a ?.  To quit, enter
     q.

FLAGS

     -a Batches the output and formats the entire diskette.
     -h Includes  a Dump  Data Header.   This header  contains
        general information  about data on the  dump diskette:
        the module name of the  component, the data address of
        the module  containing the  component, and  the offset
        address within the module of the component.
     -n Does not display  a prompt when the  screen fills with
        data during interactive output.
     -s Limits the output of each  structure to a maximum size
        of 32 bytes.
