dumpcoff.exe

(gives help)

dumpcoff.exe cofffile [/b] [/e] [/h] [/l] [/s] [/t]

where:

cofffile cofffile is a linker COFF file to process. The default extension is .cof.
/b The /b option displays the .BNKINFO section. This is a special COFF section created by the Linker. It includes information on the sections, modules, and ranges used in the program. There is always one bank called SHARED.
If the /h option is also used, the data for this section is displayed as raw data.
a section in the COFF file has no relationship with a program section created by the compiler or assembler.
/e The /e option enables all the other options except the /h option. Thus /e is equivalent to specifying /b/l/s/t on the command line.
/h The /h option displays information that is usually "hidden;" it consists of information that would be of use to people writing programs that process a COFF file. The information displayed requires some knowledge of the internal COFF format.
/l The /l option displays the line number entries. Line number entries only exist if the assembler generated them using the appropriate command line options.
/s The /s option displays symbolic information contained in the file. When used with the /h option, assembler-generated symbols that are not normally included are also displayed.
/t The /t option causes the data bytes contained in each COFF text section to be displayed in both hex and ASCII.

options

Options may be specified before and/or after the COFF filename. Each option consists of a "/" followed by the option letter. Multiple options need not be separated by blanks, e.g., /t/s is valid. The option letters may be upper or lower case. The following are sample
