DUMPCOFF is a utility program used to format and display the information in a Common Object Format File (COFF) file. This is the type of file output by LNCOP, the COP8 linker, and used by COP8 debuggers.
The typical user will want to examine the object code, symbols, or line number information in the COFF file. However, command line options are provided to display more detailed information. This could include COFF header information, symbols used internally by the tool set, and others. In some cases, the information displayed requires an understanding of the internal COFF format (see the Specification for COFF for the National Semiconductor HPC and COP8 Microcontrollers, available from National Semiconductor Corporation).
