NAME
mem - core memory
DESCRIPTION
Mem is a special file that is an image of the core memory of
the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine, and
even to patch the system using the debugger.
A memory address is an 18-bit quantity which is used
directly as a UNIBUS address. References to non-existent
locations cause errors to be returned.
Examining and patching device registers is likely to lead to
unexpected results when read-only or write-only bits are
present.
FILES
/dev/mem
BUGS
There should be another mem file that looks at core using
the system's address map.
