DESCRIPTION
binpatch
is used to modify or examine the data associated with a symbol in a binary
file
binfile.
The flags
-b,
-w
and
-l
specify the size of the data to be modified or examined
(byte, word and long respectively.) The
binfile
is scanned in search of the symbol
symname
(specified with the
-s
flag)
If the symbol is found the current data and address are printed. Next if the
-r
flag has been given, the current data is replaced with that of
value.
If the second form is used the address
addr
specified with the
-a
flag is used as a direct address into the data section of the binary and
no symbol search is performed.
The
-o
flag specifies an offset in byte, word or long
-(b,
-w,
or
-l)
units from the given locator
-(s
or
-a)
for
binpatch
to perform its described actions.
