objfil.
/f Locations starting at address in corfil are printed according to the format f and dot is
increased like
?. If a subprocess has been initiated, address refers to a location in the
address space of the subprocess instead of corfil.
=f The value of address is printed in the styles indicated by the format f.(For
i format ?
is printed for the parts of the instruction that refer to subsequent words.)
A format consists of one or more characters that specify a style of printing. Each format character can be
preceded by an integer that indicates how many times the format is repeated. While stepping through a
format, dot is increased by the amount given for each format character. If no format is given then the last
format is used.
The following format characters are available:
a 0 Print the value of dot in symbolic form.
b 1 Print the addressed byte in hexadecimal.
B 1 Print the addressed byte in octal.
c 1 Print the addressed character (the sign bit is ignored).
C 1 Print the addressed character using the following escape convention. First, the sign bit is
discarded, then character values 000 to 040 are printed as @ followed by the
corresponding character in the range 0100 to 0140. The character @ is printed as @@.
d 2 Print 2 bytes in decimal.
D 4 Print 4 bytes in decimal.
f 4 Print the 32 bit value as a floating point number.
F 8 Print double floating point.
i n Print as machine instructions. The value of n is the number of bytes occupied by the
instruction.
n 0 Print a new-line character.
o 2 Print 2 bytes in octal. All octal numbers output by adb
are preceded by 0.
O 4 Print 4 bytes in octal.
p n Print the addressed value in symbolic form. The value of n is a machine-dependent con-
stant.
q 2 Print 2 bytes in signed octal.
Q 4 Print 4 bytes in signed octal.
r 0 Print a space.
s n Print the addressed characters until a zero character is reached.
S n Print a string using the @ escape convention. The value n is the length of the string
including its zero terminator.
t 0 When preceded by an integer, moves to the next appropriate tab stop. For example, 8t
moves to the next 8-space tab stop.
u 2 Print 2 bytes as an unsigned decimal number.
U 4 Print 4 bytes as an unsigned decimal number.
x 2 Print 2 bytes in hexadecimal.
X 4 Print 4 bytes in hexadecimal.
Y 4 Print 4 bytes in date format (see ctime(3C)).
"..." 0 Print the enclosed string.
^ dot is decreased by the current increment. Nothing is printed.
+ dot is increased by 1. Nothing is printed.
