Many commands accept flags, qualifiers, and parameters, using the following syntax:
COMMAND [,qualifier| /flag] [parameter]...
If a command qualifier is present, it must appear after the command name and before any command parameters.
You introduce each command qualifier with a punctuation character, as follows:
,qualifierA comma introduces a qualifier that provides the debugger with additional information on how to execute a command. For example, the command:
DHELP,FULL =command_name
displays the full version instead of the summary version of its help text.
You introduce each command flag with a forward slash character, as follows:
/flagA flag is either one or two letters that acts as a switch.
For example, some commands accept a size flag. Valid size flags are:
Sets the size of some value or values to a byte.
Sets the size of some value or values to a halfword.
Sets the size of some value or values to a word.
For an example of a command that accepts these qualifiers, see FILL.
Where a command supports flags, the flags are described as part of the command syntax.
