a
adb(1) adb(1)
z Decrement dotincr by count times size.
For example:
=5bv, =5bv5bz
Backward Compatibility Mode
In backward compatibility mode, the traditional style can be a conversion specifier, dot operator , spac-
ing specifier,oraliteral string.
1. Conversion Specifier
A conversion specifier consists of an optional count followed by a conversion specifier character .
count Specify the number of times this conversion specifier is to be repeated. If not specified, count
is assumed to be 1.
Conversion Specifier Character
These have an implicit size. No explicit size is recognized. The following format characters
are available: (Their implicit sizes are mentioned next to them.)
o 2 The object is printed as an unsigned octal number.
O 4 The object is printed as an unsigned octal number.
q 2 The object is printed as a signed octal number.
Q 4 The object is printed as a signed octal number.
d 2 The object is printed as a signed decimal number.
D 4 The object is printed as a signed decimal number.
x 2 The object is printed as a unsigned hexadecimal number.
X 4 The object is printed as a unsigned hexadecimal number.
A 8 The object is printed as a unsigned hexadecimal number.
u 2 The object is printed as a unsigned decimal number.
U 4 The object is printed as a unsigned decimal number.
f 4 The object is printed as a floating point number.
F 8 The object is printed as a double precision floating point number.
b 1 The object is printed as a hexadecimal number.
B 1 The object is printed as an octal number.
c 1 The object is printed as a character (the sign bit is ignored).
C 1 The object is printed as a 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
represented as
@@.
s n The object is assumed to be a sequence of bytes terminated with a n as an instruction
and printed. The value of n is the number of bytes occupied by the instruction. This
cannot be used to print dot.
S n The object is assumed to be a sequence of bytes terminated with a null byte. These
bytes of the object are printed as a sequence of characters using the @ escape con-
vention. The value of n is the number of bytes in the object including the null byte.
This cannot be used to print dot.
Y 4 The object is printed in the date format (see ctime(3C)).
i n The object is disassembled as an instruction and printed. The value of n is the
number of bytes occupied by the instruction.
a 0 The value of dot is printed in symbolic form.
p n The object is printed in symbolic form. The value of n s machine-dependent.
For example:
main=ba, ’a’=c, main?10box
