NAME
     dump - display contents of memory

SYNOPSIS
     dump [ -Bcdoux ] [ -bhw ] range

DESCRIPTION
     dump formats and displays the contents of memory. You can
     display the contents of memory in hexadecimal, octal,
     decimal, unsigned decimal, ASCII, or binary format. The con-
     tents of memory can be dumped in byte, half word or word
     size units.

     The default format is hexadecimal ( -x ). You can select an
     alternative format by entering one of the following:

     -B    Binary format

     -c    ASCII character format

     -d    Decimal format

     -o    Octal format

     -u    Unsigned decimal

     -x    Hex format

     The default width is word (32 bits).  You can select an
     alternate width by entering one of the following:

     -b    Byte (8 bits)

     -h    Half word (16 bits)

     -w    Word (32 bits)

     The range specification indicates the amount of memory that
     you want displayed. You can specify the range in one of the
     following ways:

     base           Display the contents of the memory address at
                    base

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

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

EXAMPLE
     The following example shows a base#count range specified in

     half words.  The default for the hexadecimal format is used
     because the sample did not specify an argument.  The speci-
     fied range appears on the screen horizontally:

          >>dump -h 0xbfc04000#5

          0xbfc04000: 8dce  514    6  6900  193
