dumpcoff sample1
dumpcoff /b /s /t /l main
dumpcoff /e /h main

The Linker example in Chapter 12 is used, except that sym_debug option is used to generate symbolic information for COFF.

The programs were assembled with the following commands:

	C:\COP8\NSASM\EXAMPLES>asmcop.exe sample1.asm /sym_debug
	C:\COP8\NSASM\EXAMPLES>asmcop.exe sample2.asm /sym_debug

The programs were then linked as follows:

	C:\COP8\NSASM\EXAMPLES>lncop.exe sample1.obj, sample2.obj

The following is the output of DUMPCOFF using various command line options as shown. Note that the link placed files into two different banks. The program signon header is not shown for the examples.

Note: The following examples may change somewhat due to future changes in Assembler, linker, e.g., section names or code generated may change.

dumpcoff sample1

With no options specified the default display is shown below. It consists of:

Name of the file.
The file header, which in this case shows only the date the file was created. If the /h option had been used additional information would have been shown.
The COFF section information. These sections which are different from sections in the assembler, consists of contiguous bytes of data starting at the address shown. Paddr and Vaddr are always the same. The section name is always .text.
