Syntax of Native Inspect Commands

Default Values
Default Values
The defaulting rules for arguments to the x command enable you to easily display
successive memory ranges using the same formatting:
•
Default address—if you do not specify an address, the x command displays
memory following the last address examined, or 0 if no address was previously
examined.
•
Default format—if you do not specify format, the x command uses the format
specifications (format, size, and number) that you most recently specified with the
x command.
These defaults (the last address examined, and the format specification) are set by a
number of commands—the x command, the info breakpoints command, the info line
command, and the print command when you use it to display memory.
Convenience Variables
The convenience variables $_ and $__ store information about the most recent x
command. The convenience variable $_ is automatically set by the x command to the
last address examined, and $__ stores the contents of that address formatted as
specified in the command.
Examples
To display memory at address 0x70000fc0 and then display three machine
instructions starting at that address:
To display memory at an address:
(eInspect 7,464):x 0x70000fc0
0x70000fc0:0 <func_1+416>: 0x0900cc68
