save

Saves the contents of memory locations to a binary file or a text file containing hexadecimal values.

Syntax

save -h|-b [<ms>:]<addr>... <filename> [-a|-o] [8bit|16bit|32bit|64bit]

Parameter

-h|-b

Sets the output file format to hex or binary. For hex format, the address is also saved so that the contents can easily be restored with the restore command.

[<ms>:]<addr>

Address to read from. For architectures with multiple memory spaces, a memory space id may be specified.

-a

Append specifier. Instructs the command-line debugger to append the saved memory contents to the current contents of the specified file.

-o

Overwrite specifier. Tells the debugger to overwrite any existing contents of the specified file.

8bit|16bit|32bit|64bit

Controls the memory access size.
