| Description |
displays subsequent output in hexadecimal words.
The "w" is a formatting specification in the system debugger similar to the "x" format. However, the "w" format prints the data as 2 byte "words" instead of bytes. This means that on Intel platforms, data will be un-byte-swapped so that it can be displayed in a human-readable format. To indicate that the "w" format is in effect, brackets are displayed around the data. To force input data to be entered by words, use the "[" modifier before the data. When the "w" format is in effect, the "[" modifier is assumed when entering hexadecimal input. The "w" format may also be specified for traces. |

| Example |
Assume the following occurs on an Intel platform:
debug !/r11 .00002c010000151e=w 1557.158 [.0000012c00001e15]= !x/t0 .e400=w 1557.e [.00e4]=[.0102] !x/t0 .0201=w 1557.e [.0102]=.0304 !w/t0 [.0304]= !tw/t0+ 1557.e !e on !g E tcl1:01c 1557.e [.0102] !end |
| Warnings |
The "w" format is identical to the "x" format on non-Intel platforms.
Because the "w" format deals with 2 byte words, it will not function properly if the starting address is odd. The "[" input specifier also cannot be used in this case. |
