E - Enter Data Into Memory

Enter data into a memory location.

Syntax:

                                ┌──────────────────┐
                                │                  │
                                                  │
──── E ────┬────────────┬───────┬──────────────┬─┴────────────
             └─── addr ───┘       ├──  value   ──┤
                                  └──  string  ──┘

Parameters:

addr

The address of the memory location to be changed. If not specified this defaults to DS:00000000 where DS is established by the most recent register display. See

An address expression may be specified. R and .R commands for information on establishing default addresses.

value
A numerical byte value to be entered into memory. One or more values may be specified separated commas or blanks. These may be mixed with "string" values.
string
A character sting enclosed in quotes. Each character is treated as a byte value and entered into memory separately, no terminating 0x00 value is stored. No folding of characters to upper or lower case occurs. One or more strings may be specified separated by commas or blanks. These may be mixed with numerical values.

Results & Notes:

If memory is present values are entered into storage otherwise an Invalid Address message is generated. If this should happen, valid storage may be paged into memory by means of the .I command..

If no value or string parameter is specified the Kernel Debugger prompts the user a byte at a time for replacement values by displaying the original value followed by a colon. In prompt mode, the user may proceed as follows:

type a replacement byte value in hexadecimal, or

accept the original value and move on to the next location by pressing the space-bar, or

back up to the previous location by entering a - (minus) character, or

terminate prompt mode by pressing carriage return (with or without a replacement value).
