Chapter 1 Introducing HunkX
HunkX is a small utility written completely in Assembler to
show the hunkx structure of any segment-loadable file. It has
been tested with normal Amiga executables, object files,
libraries, Lattice C linker libraries, all with or without
debugging or symbol information. Note that the Aztec C linker
libraries are not supported since they are not standard. All
the new hunks in KickStart 2.0 are also supported.
Non-programmers won't have a lot of use for HunkX. It display
technical information that can be useful for programmers only.

If you run HunkX without any arguments get a message similar
to the following one:
HunkX v2.00 by Peter Stuer (2.7.92 18:56:08) FREEWARE
Examines the hunk structure of an executable file.
If you run HunkX with an questionmark (?) as argument you'll
get the argument template:
FROM/A/M,V=VERBOSE/S:
You can supply as many arguments as you like. If the argument
is a directory or a device all the files in that directory or
device will be examined.
If you also supply the VERBOSE switch HunkX will show you a
lot more information f.e. all the debugging symbols (if any).
The output can be stopped at any time by pressing Control-C.
