BINPATCH(8)         OpenBSD System Manager's Manual (Amiga)        BINPATCH(8)

NAME
     binpatch - examine and or modify initialized data in a binary

SYNOPSIS
     binpatch [-b | -w | -l] [-o offset] -s symname [-r value] binfile
     binpatch [-b | -w | -l] [-o offset] -a addr [-r value] binfile

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 sym-
     bol 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 it's
     described actions.
