cmp command
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Synopsis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
cmp [.b, .w, .l, .q] addr1 addr2 count
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The cmp command is used to compare two memory areas. By default it works on
|
||||
four byte tuples. By appending .b, .w, .l, .q the size of the tuples is
|
||||
controlled:
|
||||
|
||||
cmp.b
|
||||
compare 1 byte tuples
|
||||
|
||||
cmp.w
|
||||
compare 2 byte tuples
|
||||
|
||||
cmp.l
|
||||
compare 4 byte tuples
|
||||
|
||||
cmp.q
|
||||
compare 8 byte tuples
|
||||
|
||||
The parameters are used as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
addr1
|
||||
Address of the first memory area.
|
||||
|
||||
addr2
|
||||
Address of the second memory area.
|
||||
|
||||
count
|
||||
Number of bytes to compare (as hexadecimal number).
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
In the example below the strings "Hello world\n" and "Hello World\n" are written
|
||||
to memory and then compared.

Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The cmp command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY=y. The cmp.q command is
|
||||
only available if additionally CONFIG_MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA=y.
|
||||
|
||||
Return value
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The return value $? is true (0) if the compared memory areas are equal.
|
||||
The reutrn value is false (1) if the compared memory areas differ.
