FILL(1prom)         UMIPS-V Reference Manual          FILL(1prom)



     NAME
          fill - fill memory with value

     SYNOPSIS
          fill [ -bhw ]  [ -v value ] range

     DESCRIPTION
          The fill command fills the contents of a specified range of
          addresses with a particular value.

          Memory stores occur in either byte, halfword, or word size
          units.  The default width is word (32 bits).  An alternative
          width can be selected by entering one of the following
          characters as an argument.

          -b    Byte (8 bits)

          -h    Halfword (16 bits)

          -w    Word (32 bits)

          The default value used to fill memory is 0, an alternate
          value may be specified by the -v option.

          The range specification indicates the amount of memory to be
          filled.  You can specify a range in one of the following
          ways.

          base           Fills the contents of the memory address at
                         base .

          base#count     Fills the contents of memory starting at base
                         and ending at base + count .

          base:limit     Fills the contents of the memory addresses
                         starting at base and ending at limit.
