.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 11 |
.B mon |
| 12 |
is an interactive command-driven file manipulation tool that is inspired |
| 13 |
by the "Amiga Monitor" by Timo Rossi <trossi@jyu.fi>. It has commands and |
| 14 |
features similar to a machine code monitor/debugger, but it is not intended |
| 15 |
to be used for debugging. It doesn't operate on physical or virtual RAM |
| 16 |
locations of a process but rather on a fixed-size (but adjustable) buffer with |
| 17 |
adresses starting at 0. Also, there are no commands to trace code, set |
| 18 |
breakpoints etc. There are, however, built-in PowerPC, 680x0, 6502 and 8080 |
| 19 |
disassemblers. |

If you give no command line arguments, mon enters interactive mode. |
| 22 |
Otherwise, all arguments are interpreted and executed as mon commands. |
| 23 |

| 24 |
Type "h" to get a list of supported commands. |

.PP |
| 26 |
When mon is started as |
| 27 |
.BR rmon , |
| 28 |
it enters "real mode". That is, all memory related functions no longer |
| 29 |
operate on the buffer but on "real" (virtual) memory. This is probably |
| 30 |
of not much use. |

.SH BUGS |
| 34 |
Some 680x0 instructions (especially FPU and MMU) are not disassembled. |
