-
- S0 The header record for each block of S-records. The code/data field may
- contain any descriptive information identifying the following block of
- S-records. Under an operating system, a resident linker command can be used
- to designate module name, version number, revision number, and description
- information which will make up the header record. The address field is
- normally zeroes.
-
- |> S1 4 character address data record
-
- S1 A record containing code/data and the 2-byte address at which the code/data
- is to reside.
-
- |> S2 6 character address data record
-
- S2 A record containing code/data and the 3-byte address at which the code/data
- is to reside.
-
- |> S3 8 character address data record
-
- S3 A record containing code/data and the 4-byte address at which the code/data
- is to reside.
-
- |> S4 ?
-
- Beats me. Never needed it. Anybody else out there know about S4's?
-
- |> S5 ?
-
- S5 A record containing the number of S1, S2, and S3 records transmitted in a
- particular block. This count appears in the address field. There is no
- code/data field.
-
- |> S6 ?
-
- This is another I've never encountered. Maybe someone else can help.
-
- |> S7 S3 block termination record
-
- S7 A termination record for a block of S3 records. The address field may
- optionally contain the 4-byte address of the instruction to which control is
- to be passed. There is no code/data field.
-
- |> S8 ?
-
- S8 A termination record for a block of S2 records. The address field may
- optionally contain the 3-byte address of the instruction to which control is
- to be passed. There is no code/data field.
-
- |> S9 end of file record
-
- S9 A termination record for a block of S1 records. The address field may
- optionally contain the 2-byte address of the instruction to which control is
- to be passed. Under an operating system, a resident linker command can be
- used to specify this address. If not specified, the first entry point
- specification encountered in the object module input will be used. There is
- no code/data field.
