HSTAR - examining and patching Hstar files with BOFF.

Syntax:

boff Hstar [hsfile[,module]] [options]*

ManiFest=filename          +Symbols
Symbols=filename[,module]  (+|-)Write

Examples:

boff h
boff h /myhs,object
boff h /newhs -w mf=/myman

Options:

hsfile[,module]: specifies the hstar file that you want to examine and/or patch. If this file contains more than one module, you must specify the name of the module that you wish to work with.
ManiFest=filename: specifies a manifest file. For more details, see "expl boff manifest".
Symbols=filename[,module]: indicates that "filename" contains symbol names and debug tables for the program whose hstar file is being examined. This file should be an hstar file or a sequential symbol file (see "expl boff symbols"). If the file is an hstar file containing more than one module, you must specify the "module" name as well.
+Symbols: is short for "Symbols=.h". ".h" is the B command's default name for core image files.
-Write: indicates that BOFF should not access the hstar file with write permissions (i.e. read only). This prevents accidental alteration of the hstar file. Normally, BOFF accesses the file with both read and write.

Description:

The Hstar mode of BOFF is used to examine and patch load modules. If you only wish to examine the load module, you may guard against changing the module accidentally by specifying "-Write".
