    <h2><a name="syntax">Command syntax of <i>&micro;Csim</i></a></h2>
    
    <i>&micro;Csim</i> uses a very simple command interpreter. Command
    can be entered after <i>&micro;Csim</i> displays the prompt and
    interpreted when ENTER key is pressed. Commands must start with
    the name of the command following parameters. Name of the command
    can be abbreviated if abbreviation is unique. Some commands have
    more than one names.
    
    <p>Syntactically parameters can be a string, bit name, array,
      number or symbol. Interpretation of these syntactical elements
      depends on actual command. </p>
    
    <p>If the command line can not be recognized as a known command, <i>&micro;Csim</i>
      tries to evaluate the command line as an <i>expression</i>. <a href="#expr">See
        below</a> for information about operands and operators which
      can be used in expressions. </p>
    
    <h3><a name="command_name">Command names</a></h3>
    
    Name of the command must be the first word of the command line. It
    is not necessary to enter whole name if abbreviation is
    unique. Help command can be used to check out if a command has
    more names:

    <pre>&gt; <font color="green">help run</font>
run [start [stop]] Go
Names of command: <b>go r run</b>
...
    </pre>

    Some commands just groups other commands. These commands have a
    set of so-called <i>sub-commands</i>. Sub-command must be second
    word in the command line. For example:
    
    <pre>&gt; <font color="green">help set</font>
set <b>subcommand</b>     Set, see `set' command for more help
Names of command: set
long help of set
&gt; <font color="green">set</font>
"set" must be followed by the name of a subcommand
List of subcommands:
<b>set option</b> name|nr value
                   Set value of an option
<b>set error</b> on|off|unset
                   Set value of an error
<b>set memory</b> memory_type address data... or bitspec data
                   Place list of data into memory
<b>set bit</b> bitspec data   Set specified bit(s)
<b>set hardware</b> category params...
                   Set parameters of specified hardware element
    </pre>
    
    <h3>Type of parameters</h3>
    
    <h4><a name="string_type">String type</a></h4>
    
    To distinguish strings and symbols, strings can be surrounded by
    (double) quotes. Quotes can be omitted if command parameter is
    interpreted as string and actual parameter start with a letter (so
    it doesn't look to be a number) and doesn't contain space. Let's
    look an example:
    
    <pre>0&gt; <font color="green">set opt 7 <b>s51&gt;</b></font>
0s51&gt;<font color="green">set opt 7 <b>".s51&gt; "</b></font>
0.s51&gt; 
</pre>

<h4><a name="bit_type">Bit type</a></h4>

If a parameter contains a dot (.) or a colon contained in square
    brackets ([...:...])  it is treated as a bit specification. If
    there is a dot the part before the dot gives the memory address
    and part after the dot gives the bit number. The bracketed form is
    used to specify a range of bits.

<pre>0&gt; <font color="green">dump <b>p1.1</b></font>
      P1.1 0x90 ff 1
0&gt; <font color="green">dump <b>0x80.1</b></font>
      P4.1 0x80 ff 1
0&gt; 
</pre>

<h4><a name="array_type">Array type</a></h4>

Parameters contain [ character are treated as arrays. Arrays can be
    used to specify hardware elements. Array index selects an object
    if more than one exists:

<pre>0&gt; <font color="green">info hw <b>port[0]</b></font>
port[0]
P0    11111111 0xff 255 . (Value in SFR register)
Pin0  11111111 0xff 255 . (Output of outside circuits)
Port0 11111111 0xff 255 . (Value on the port pins)
0&gt; 
</pre>

<h4><a name="number_type">Number type</a></h4>

Some commands accept parameters which in most cases can be
    numbers. Numbers can be entered in C-style form. If the number
    begins with <tt><b>0x</b></tt>
    or <tt><b>0X</b></tt> it is interpreted as a <i>hexadecimal</i> number. As
    extension to C-style, number can be started by <b><span style="font-family: monospace;">0b</span></b>,
    followed by <b><span style="font-family: monospace;">0</span></b> and <b><span
        style="font-family: monospace;">1</span></b> characters. In this case it
    is interpreted as <i>binary</i> number. If it begins with <tt><b>0</b></tt>
    followed by digits it is interpreted as <i>octal</i> number. In
other cases it is interpreted as <i>decimal</i> number.<br>

<h4><a name="symbol_type">Symbol type</a></h4>

    If a command parameter can not be classified in other ways
    (doesn't start with a digit or a quote, doesn't contain dot or [)
    then it will be treated as a <b>symbol</b>. Symbols can be interpreted in several ways.

<h3>Interpretation of parameters</h3>

<h4><a name="address_param">Address parameters</a></h4>

Many commands requires memory addresses as parameters. Addresses can
    be specified using number or symbol type of parameters. Value of
    symbols depends on processor type. For example MCS52 family of
    controllers defines more symbols than MCS51 family.

<h4><a name="number_param">Number, data parameters</a></h4>

When a command expects a number it should get a number. <font color="red">Note</font>,
    that symbols is not converted to number they can be used as address only!

<h4><a name="string_param">String parameters</a></h4>

Strings can be entered without quotes if they are recognized as strings (see
    above) and do not contain spaces.

<h4><a name="data_list_param">Data list parameters</a></h4>

Data list can be any space separated list of numbers and strings. If
    you include a string in the list, it is broken to list of bytes
    where every byte is ASCII code of a string's character.

<pre>&gt; <font color="green">where xram "ab" 0x43</font>
0xf961 61 62 63                abc
&gt; 
</pre>

<h4><a name="memory_param">Memory parameters</a></h4>

Where memory type is expected, name of the memory should be used. Most
    commands accept memory chip and address space too. See <a href="memory.html">memory
      simulation</a> for more information.

<h4><a name="hw_param">Hardware element parameters</a></h4>

Hardware elements can be specified by using arrays, where array name
is name of the element and the array index selects one if more than
one exists.

<h4><a name="bit_param">Bit parameters</a></h4>

Bits can be specified by several ways. One way is using bit type of command
parameter:

    <pre>0&gt; <font color="green">dump 0.2</font>
    0x00000.2               0
0&gt; <font color="green">dump 0xc3.2</font>
    0x000c3.2               1
0&gt; <font color="green">var a_reg rom[0x1000]</font>
0&gt; <font color="green">dump a_reg[7:0]</font>
      0x01000      a_reg           0b11110111 0xf7 '.' 247 ( -9)
0&gt; <font color="green">dump a_reg[5:2]</font>
      0x01000[5:2] a_reg[5:2]      0b--1101-- 0x0d '.'  13 ( -3)
0&gt; <font color="green">var some_bits rom[0x1000][5:2]</font>
0&gt; <font color="green">dump some_bits</font>
      0x01000[5:2] some_bits       0b--1101-- 0x0d '.'  13 ( -3)
0&gt; <font color="green">dump some_bits[4:3]</font>
      0x01000[4:3] a_reg[4:3]      0b---10--- 0x02 '.'   2 ( -2)
0&gt;
</pre>

<p>Note that in the above the <code>[4:3]</code> <em>overrides</em> the
    <code>[5:2]</code> defined for the var and <code>some_bits[4:3]</code>means
    bits 4 through 3 of the value stored at 0x1000. It does <em>not</em> mean
    take the bits defined by the var and then take a subset of those
    bits.  Note also that the output does not tell us we are looking
    at <code>some_bit</code>
    (because we're not) but since we have a var set for the address as a whole
    it does tell us that we are looking at a subset of <code>a_reg</code>.</p>

    <p>In this way, any IRAM or SFR location can be addressed as the above
      example shows.</p>
    
    <p>Other way is using bit address either by value or by symbolic name: </p>
    
    <pre>0&gt; <font color="green">dump ea</font>
     IE0.7 0xa8 00 0
0&gt; <font color="green">dump 34</font>
    0x24.2 0x24 24 1
0&gt; <font color="green">dump 0xc7</font>
   SCON1.7 0xc0 00 0
0&gt; 
    </pre>

    Of course, only addressable bits can be accessed in this way.
    
<hr>

<h2><a name="expr">Expressions</a></h2>

<p>Expressions can be evaluated by <a href="cmd_general.html#expression">expression</a> command. If
first word of the command line is not recognized as a known command,
the command line will be evaluated as an expression and the result
value printed (in decimal):</p>

<pre>0&gt; <font color="green">12*(34+56)</font>
1080
0&gt; 
</pre>
    <h3>Operands</h3>
    Operands of the expressions can be
    <ul>
      <li>number (literal); </li>
      <li>memory (either address space, or memory chip); </li>
      <li>or bit</li>
    </ul>
    
    <h4>Number operands</h4>
    
    Numbers can be entered in decimal, octal (starting with 0 followed
    by a number), or hexadecimal (started with 0x), or binary (started
    with 0b), or ascii code format (letter between apostrophes):

    <pre>0&gt; <font color="green">12</font>
12
0&gt; <font color="green">012</font>
10
0&gt; <font color="green">0x12</font>
18
0&gt; <font color="green">0b010101</font>
21
0&gt; <font color="green">'A'</font>
65
0&gt; 
    </pre>

    Numbers must be integers (floating point is not supported) and not bigger
    than the value which can be stored as <b>long int</b>. Numbers can
    be specified in ascii form too: <b>'a'</b>, result will be ascii
    code of the character. This form accepts C style escapes, for
    example: <b>'\n'</b> or <b>'\033'</b>.

    <h4>Memory operands</h4>
    
    Memory can be an address space location or a memory chip cell. It
    can be specified in following form:

    <pre>name[address]</pre>
    
    where <i>name</i> is the name of the address space or memory chip and <i>address</i>
    is an expression specifying location (index) of the cell.

    <p>Registers in SFR address space can also be specified using pre-defined
      names (symbols) of the registers. </p>
    
    <pre>0&gt; <font color="green">xram[0x543]</font>
67
0&gt; <font color="green">xram_chip[1347]</font>
67
0&gt; <font color="green">rom[12*(34+56)]</font>
56
0&gt; <font color="green">sp</font>
7
0&gt; <font color="green">rom[256*dph+dpl]</font>
88
0&gt; 
    </pre>

    <p>You can assign a symbol (name) to any memory location, this
    name is called variable (see <a href="cmd_memory.html#var">var</a>, and <a href="cmd_general.html#info_variables">info var</a> commands). To specify memory operand, you can use variable name as well:</p>

    <pre>
0&gt; <font color="green">var rom_loc rom[0x1234]</font>
0> <font color="green">info var rom_loc</font>
rom_loc rom[0x1234] = 0xff,255U,255
0&gt; <font color="green">rom_loc</font>
255
0&gt; <font color="green">rom_loc='A'</font>
65
0&gt; <font color="green">expr /c rom_loc</font>
'A'
0&gt;
    </pre>
    
    <p>Value of the memory operand is always a positive integer number.</p>

    <h4>Bit operands</h4>

    Bit operands are evaluated to 0 or 1. Any bit of any memory
    location can be specified as bit using following form:

    <pre>memory.bitnumber</pre>

    where <i>memory</i> is a memory location as a memory operand and <i>bitnumber</i>
    is number of the bit within the specified memory cell specified as an
    expression. Note, that dot (.) is part of the syntax, not an operator.

    <p>Alternatively, name of the bit can be used to specify named SFR bits. </p>

    <h2><a name="redir">Redirection</a></h2>
    Output of any command can be redirected to a file. Same syntax can be used

    doesn't allow to put redirection at the beginning of the command!
