FILL(1spp)

NAME

fill − fill memory with value

SYNOPSIS

fill [ -bhw ]  [ -v value ] range

DESCRIPTION

Fill initializes the contents of a range of memory with a particular value. 

Memory stores occur in either byte, halfword, or word size units.  The default width is word.  Alternate widths are selected by one of the following characters:

b Byte (8 bits)

h Halfword (16 bits)

w Word (32 bits)

The default value used to fill memory is 0, an alternate value may be specified by the -v flag. 

A range specification indicates the amount of memory to fill.  Ranges may be specified in the following three ways:

base Fill the contents of the width-size unit at address base.

base#count Fill the contents of count width-size units starting at address base.

base:limit Fill the contents of width-size units with addresses >= to base and < limit.
