Every command which changes content of ROM area such as dl or set
memory deletes result of code analyzer and causes to
re-analyze the code.
show
Show command can be used to display different kind of information. It
must be followed by a subcommand. Subcommands are:
show copying
show warranty
show copying
This command can be used to list licensing information. It is first 10
point of the version 2 of GNU Genral Public License. If you do not
accept GPL simply do not use the program.
show warranty
This command prints out last 2 point of the license ("NO WARRANTY"
message).
download,dl
Download command. It is same as load above but it
reads information from command console which is standard input by
default. This command stops read records when it detects an "END"
record which is normaly the last record. This command has two
equivalent forms download and dl.

info hardware|hw identifier
This subcommand prints out information about a unit of the
controller. identifier specifies hardware element. One form of
it is a name. Names of hardware elements can be checked by conf command. This form is accepted only when name is
unique. If more than one element exists with the same name then name
must be followed by id number is squere brackets in same form as it is
listed by conf command.
Ouput format of this command depends on CPU family and type of the CPU too because requested unit can be different in different type of controller even in the same CPU family.

This command can be used to modify content of any simulated
memory. First parameter must be a class name to specify type of
memory. Class names can de checked by conf command.
Second parameter specifies start address of the modification.
Remaining parameters will be written into the memory starting at address specified by second parameter. Data list can include numbers as well as strings. See syntax for more details. q
Modified memory locations are dumped out.

Set option value. Options described at (get option) command can be set using this command. First parameter must be an option name and second the new value. Interpretation of the value depends on type of the option. Value for a boolean type of option interpreted as follows: if first character of the value is one of 1, t, T, y, Y then value will be TRUE otherwise it will be FALSE.
