5.10 EXAMINE
The EXAMINE command displays the contents of a specified
address. The qualifiers are identical to the DEPOSIT
command’s qualifiers.
5.10.1 Syntax and Qualifiers
Table 5–7: EXAMINE Command Qualifiers
Qualifier Meaning
/B Defines data size as a byte.
/G Defines the address space as the general register set, R0 through R15.
/I Defines the address space as the internal processor registers, ac-
cessed through MTPR and MFPR instructions.
/L Defines data size as a longword; initial default.
/M
1
Defines the address space as a vector indirect register; accesses ad-
dresses 400 and higher.
/N:<count> Defines the address space as the first of a range.
2
<count> is a re-
quired value with /N.
/P Defines the address space as physical memory; initial default.
/Q Defines data size as a quadword; initial default for vector registers (ex-
cept for VCR and VLR).
/V Defines the address space as virtual memory. All access and protection check-
ing occur.
3
/VE
1
Defines the address space as the vector register set.
/W Defines data size as a word.
1
Used only with an attached vector processor (Models 400 and 500).
2
The console examines the first address, then the specified number of succeeding ad-
dresses. Even if the address is ’–’, the succeeding addresses are at higher ad-
dresses; that is, the symbol specifies only the starting address, not the direction.
3
If memory management has not been enabled, virtual addresses are equal to physi-
cal addresses. If access is not allowed to a program running with the current pro-
cessor status longword (PSL), the console issues an error message. Virtual space de-
posits cause the PTE<M> bit to be set in the mapping PTE and force the proces-
sor write buffer to be flushed.
