NAME

       srec_info - information about EPROM load files

SYNOPSIS

       srec_info [ option...  ] filename...
       srec_info -Help
       srec_info -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

       The  srec_info program is used to obtain input about EPROM load files.  It reads the files
       specified, and then presents statistics about them.  These statistics  include:  the  file
       header  if  any, the execution start address if any, and the address ranges covered by the
       data if any.

INPUT FILE SPECIFICATIONS

       Input may be qualified in two ways: you may specify a  data  file  or  a  data  generator.
       format  and  you  may specify filters to apply to them.  An input file specification looks
       like this:
              data‐file [ filter ... ]
              data‐generator [ filter ... ]

   Data Files
       Input from data files  is  specified  by  file  name  and  format  name.   An  input  file
       specification looks like this:
              filename [ format ][ -ignore‐checksums ]
       The default format is Motorola S‐Record format, but many others are also understood.

   Data Generators
       It  is  also  possible  to  generate data, rather than read it from a file.  You may use a
       generator anywhere you could use a file.  An  input  generator  specification  looks  like
       this:
              -GENerate address‐range -data‐source
       Generators include random data and various forms of constant data.

   Common Manual Page
       See  srec_input(1)  for  complete  details  of input specifiers.  This description is in a
       separate manual page because it is common to more than one SRecord command.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       @filename
               The named text file is read for additional command line arguments.  Arguments  are
               separated  by  white  space  (space,  tab,  newline,  etc).   There is no wildcard
               mechanism.  There is no quoting mechanism.  Comments, which  start  with  '#'  and
               extend to the end of the line, are ignored.  Blank lines are ignored.

       -Help
               Provide some help with using the srec_info program.

       -IGnore_Checksums
               The  -IGnore‐Checksums  option may be used to disable checksum validation of input
               files, for those formats which have checksums at  all.   Note  that  the  checksum
               values  are still read in and parsed (so it is still an error if they are missing)
               but their values are not checked.  Used after  an  input  file  name,  the  option
               affects that file alone; used anywhere else on the command line, it applies to all
               following files.

       -Enable_Sequence_Warnings
               This option may be used to enable  warnings  about  input  files  where  the  data
               records  are  not in strictly ascending address order.  Only one warning is issued
               per input file.  This is the default.

               Note: the output of srec_cat(1) is always in this order.

               Note: This option must be used before the input file.  This is  because  if  there
               are  several  files  on  the  command line, each may need different settings.  The
               setting remains in force until the next -Disable_Sequence_Warnings option.

       -Disable_Sequence_Warnings
               This option may be used to disable warnings  about  input  files  where  the  data
               records are not in strictly ascending address order.

               Note:  This  option must be used before the offending input file.  This is because
               if there are several files on the command line, each may need different  settings.
               The setting remains in force until the next -Ensable_Sequence_Warnings option.

       -MULTiple
               Use  this  option  to permit a file to contain multiple (contradictory) values for
               some memory locations.  A warning will be printed.  The last  value  in  the  file
               will be used.  The default is for this condition to be a fatal error.

       -VERSion
               Print the version of the srec_info program being executed.

       All other options will produce a diagnostic error.

       All  options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters,
       all lower case letters and  underscores  (_)  are  optional.   You  must  use  consecutive
       sequences of optional letters.

       All  options  are  case  insensitive,  you  may type them in upper case or lower case or a
       combination of both, case is not important.

       For example: the arguments “-help”, “-HEL” and “-h” are all interpreted to mean the  -Help
       option.   The  argument  “-hlp”  will  not  be  understood,  because  consecutive optional
       characters were not supplied.

       Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line.

       The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for srec_info are  long,
       this  means  ignoring  the  extra  leading  “-”.   The “--option=value” convention is also
       understood.

EXIT STATUS

       The srec_info command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.   The  srec_info  command
       will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.
