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".
