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 symbol 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.
