Disassembling

Lets try something more exciting. A request for printing machine language instructons is /i. It may be preceded by a count. Try ,4/i. The comma is necessary and informs szadb that what follows is a number of times to repeat the request. If you will omit it then the debugger will decide that you want to start with a location 4. If all is well then szadb will respond


[]firstdis.exm


After this request a default command becomes /i. Therefore to see the next four locations it is enough to type ,4 and szadb will show


[]reptdis.exm


Note that the ``dot'' has moved. This is a common feature of all memory examining requests. The ``dot'' will be set past all already scanned memory. If you want to look at the same memory area one more time, possibly using a different request, use & to reset your position. It is a shorthand for the last typed in address.
