HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation

Displays information about the specified Integrity servers image file.

Note This command can be executed on an Alpha or Integrity server system, but it is designed only to display attributes of Integrity images. These attributes can be modified using the SET IMAGE command.

Format

SHOW IMAGE image-filespec

Parameter

image-filespec

Specifies the name of an OpenVMS Integrity servers image file whose attributes you want to display. The asterisk (*) and percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification. If you omit the file type extension, the default file type .EXE is applied.

Description

Displays information about an Integrity servers image file. The information displayed includes the image identification, the linker identification, and information indicating whether the image has been modified since the original link.

Qualifier

/OUTPUT[=file-spec]

Writes the SHOW IMAGE output to a specified file rather than to the current SYS$OUTPUT device. If you specify the /OUTPUT qualifier without a file specification, the output is directed to SYS$OUTPUT. If you omit the file type in the file specification, the default file type is .LIS. If you specify a file type and omit the file name, the default file name is SHOW. No wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of SHOW IMAGE information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

Keyword	Description
CLEAR_SCREEN	Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL	Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n]	Enables screen navigation of information, where n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier can store up to 5 screens of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the output:

Key Sequence	Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B	Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key	Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key	Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key	Scroll right one column.
Find (E1)	Specify a string to find when the information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2)	Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3)	Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4)	Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5)	Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6),	Get the next page of information.
Return, Enter, Space, F10, and Ctrl/Z	Exit. (Some utilities define these differently.)
Help (F15)	Display utility help text.
Do (F16)	Toggle the display to oldest/newest page.
Ctrl/W	Refresh the display.

$ SHOW IMAGE PATCH 
Show Image Version 1.2                   29-SEP-2004 07:52:08.41

This is an OpenVMS IA64 (Elf format) executable image file

     IMGSTA                     CALL_DEBUG 
     MAIN                       IMGSTA 
     TBK_IN_IMG                 MAIN 
     DBG_IN_IMG                 TBK_IN_IMG 
                                DBG_IN_IMG 
 
     Image Link Flag   Description 
     ---------------   ------------------------------------- 
     CALL_DEBUG      : Call debugger 
     IMGSTA          : Call SYS$IMGSTA 
     MAIN            : Image has main transfer 
     TBK_IN_IMG      : Traceback records in image file 
     DBG_IN_IMG      : Debug records in image file 
 
      

In this example, the SHOW IMAGE command displays the attributes of the file PATCH.EXE located in the current working directory. The image was modified from the original attributes on 29-SEP-2004.

The image link flags output indicates the image was changed to not call the debugger at image startup. The output also shows that the traceback symbols and the debugger symbols are present in the image file.

The first line of output displays the version of SHOW IMAGE installed on the system. The line titled "Image Dynamic Data Version" shows the version of SHOW IMAGE that was available when the image was linked. Future updates to the Integrity servers ELF image format might cause the image dynamic data version to increase. When the image version does not match the SHOW IMAGE version, a new version of SHOW IMAGE might be required to display the new ELF format data.

$ SHOW IMAGE SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES

Image Identification Information

    Global Symbol Table name: DCLTABLES 
   Image file identification: 0-0

      Manipulation Date/Time: Never 
  Image Dynamic Data Version: <unavailable> 
 
Image Completion Code Value: SUCCESS  State: Original 
 
Image Link Flags state: <unavailable> 
      

This example lists the image information for the DCLTABLES.EXE file in SYS$LIBRARY. The <unavailable> string in the image dynamic data version line indicates that this image cannot be manipulated with the SET IMAGE command.
