BINPATCH(8)          NetBSD/amiga System Manager's Manual          BINPATCH(8)

NAME
     binpatch -- examine and or modify initialized data in a binary file

SYNOPSIS
     binpatch [-b | -w | -l] [-o offset] -s symname [-r value] binfile
     binpatch [-b | -w | -l] [-o offset] -a addr [-r value] binfile

DESCRIPTION
     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 sym-
     bol 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.
