annotate TOOLS/mem2dump.c @ 5699:1dde9686d33b

Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest installment of the ongoing show "Reworking the docs for fun and profit". Your host Diego will be assisted by Nilmoni in presenting you: - spellchecking in all its glory - a grammar to the envy of all native speakers - answers now hopefully so clear that their respective questions shall never be asked again Somebody from the public raises his voice: "What about HTML errors?" The host is quick to answer: "Yes, there have been corrections." From the back of the auditory comes a subdued question: "And the FONT tags..?" The room falls silent. There is no answer and the host twitches. Finally the words "They have not been touched." escape from his mouth, barely audible. A murmur erupts but the jury nods and calms the crowd "Time to get back to serious hacking.". The host leaves the stage under polite applause and everybody scuttles off for their notebooks...

    bios2dump.c - Was designed to dump memory block to file.
    Usage: as argument requires absolute address of memory dump and its lenght
    (int hexadecimal form).
    as output - will write file which will named: memADDR_LEN.dump
    where: ADDR - given address of memory
           LEN  - given length of memory
