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.
