It uses a standard +format that includes the address, hex data and ASCII display. It supports +various data sizes and uses the endianness of the target. + +The specified data_size and length become the defaults for future memory +commands commands. + +address + start address to display + +data_size + size of each value to display (defaults to .l): + + ========= =================== + data_size Output size + ========= =================== + .b byte + .w word (16 bits) + .l long (32 bits) + .q quadword (64 bits) + ========= =================== + +length + number of values to dump.
