plist(1)plist(1)NAMEplist - list contents of output files generated by AS
SYNTAXplist [ file name ]
DESCRIPTION
PLIST is a program to list the contents of code output files generated
by AS, a cross assembler for a variety of microprocessors and -con‐
trollers. PLIST takes only one argument: the name of the file to list.
If [ name ] does not have an extension, the default extension '.p' will
be added automatically. The output consists of a single line for each
record in the file, listing the target processor, target address space,
number of code/data bytes, and start/stop address. Note that the dif‐
ference between the start and stop address need not equal the number of
bytes, since there are target processors whose memory is not bytewise-
organized. The records that specify entry address and file creator
have a different layout and therefore have a little bit different look
in PLIST's output.
PLIST does not accept multiple file arguments; processing of several
files must be done with individual calls.
COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS
none.
NATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORTplist supports national languages in the same way as AS. See the man‐
ual page for asl(1) for maore information about this.
RETURN CODESplist may return with the following codes:
0 no errors.
1 incorrect command line parameters.
2 I/O-error.
3 An input file had an incorrect format.
EXAMPLES
To list the contents of a code file file1.p, use:
plist file1
There aren't more meaningful examples, as PLIST does not have any com‐
mand line parameters.
TIPS
If PLIST is started without any argument, it will prompt for a file's
name.

PLIST originally appeared as an AS tool in 1992, written in Borland-
Pascal, and was ported to C and UNIX in 1996.
BUGS
There are too few options.
