binpatch is used to modify or examine the
data associated with a symbol in a binary file
binfile. The flags -b,
-w and -l specify the size
of the data to be modified or examined (byte, word and long respectively.)
The binfile is scanned in search of the symbol
symname (specified with the -s
flag) If the symbol is found the current data and address are printed. Next
if the -r flag has been given, the current data is
replaced with that of value.
If the second form is used the address addr
specified with the -a flag is used as a direct
address into the data section of the binary and no symbol search is
performed.
The -o flag specifies an offset in byte,
word or long (-b, -w, or
-l) units from the given locator
(-s or -a) for
binpatch to perform its described actions.
