AlphaServer 8200/8400 Operations Manual
The deposit command syntax is:
d[eposit] [-{b,w,l,q,o,h}] [-{n val, s val}] [space:]<address> <data>
where the options are values from Table 7-4, and <data> is the value to be stored. If
the specified value is too large to fit in the data size to be deposited, the console
ignores the command and issues an error response. For data lengths longer than a
longword, each longword of data should be separated by a space. If the data is smaller
than the data size to be deposited, the higher order bits are filled with zeros.

space: is the optional device name (or address space) of the device to access (see Table

•
+, the location immediately following the last location referenced in an examine or
deposit command. For physical and virtual memory, the referenced location is the
last location plus the size of the reference (1 for byte, 2 for word, 4 for longword).
For other address spaces, the address is the last referenced address plus one.
•
–, the location immediately preceding the last location referenced in an examine or
deposit command. For physical and virtual memory, the referenced location is the
last location minus the size of the reference (1 for byte, 2 for word, 4 for
