FILL(1prom)         RISC/os 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, half word, or word size
     units.  The default width is word (32 bits). You can select
     an alternative width by entering one of the following argu-
     ments:

     -b    Byte (8 bits)

     -h    Half word (16 bits)

     -w    Word (32 bits)

     The default value used to fill memory is 0. You can specify
     an alternate value by using the -v option.

     The range specification indicates the amount of memory that
     you want filled.  You can specify a range in one of the fol-
     lowing 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
