CHAPTER 15 LOAD MODULE CONVERTER (f2ms,f2hs,f2is,f2es)
15.6 f2is (Converting an Absolute Format Load Module into the
HEX8 Format), f2es (Converting an Absolute Format Load
Module into the HEX16 Format)
The f2is command converts the absolute format load module of the linker output to a
HEX8 format, and the f2es converts it to a HEX16 format.
The f2is command converts data at the addresses 0 to 0xFFFF and the f2es command
converts data at the addresses 0 to 0xFFFFF.
These f2is and f2es commands can also process the absolute format load modules for
SOFTUNE V5/V6.
To keep compatibility with the previous versions, these commands are included in the
linkage kit. Use of the f2hs command for conversion to a HEX format is recommended.
■ f2is (Converting an Absolute Format Load Module into the HEX8 Format)
[Function]
The f2is command only reads the object data part from the absolute format load module of the linker
output, and converts it to a HEX8 format file.

[Description]
The common options shown in "CHAPTER 14 COMMON OPTIONS OF AN OBJECT FORMAT
CONVERTER" can be used for f2is.
[Address]
The maximum value of addresses that can be represented in the HEX8 format is 0xFFFF.
Note:
The absolute format load module that is output by a linker can represent the addresses between 0
and 0xFFFFFFFF inclusive. However, when the absolute format load module is converted into the
HEX8 format, the data allocated to the addresses 0x10000 and higher are truncated.
When using this command, be careful of the range of addresses in the conversion source.
An HEX8 format file consists of data records and a trailer record.
