Format Load Module into the HEX16 Format)
■ f2es (Converting an Absolute Format Load Module into the HEX16 Format)
[Function]
The f2es command reads only the object data part from the absolute format load module of the linker
output, and converts it to a HEX16 format file.

[Description]
The common options shown in "CHAPTER 14 COMMON OPTIONS OF AN OBJECT FORMAT
CONVERTER" can be used for f2es.
[Address]
The maximum value of addresses that can be represented in the HEX16 format is 0xFFFFF.
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
HEX16 format, the data allocated to the addresses 0x100000 and higher are truncated.
When using this command, be careful of the range of addresses in the conversion source.
In the HEX16 format, an extended segment address record is used to represent the addresses
0x10000 and higher.
An extended segment address record in a file is valid until the next extended segment address
record appears. If a data record appears without an extended segment address record, then the
program calculates addresses assuming that the extended segment address is specified to be 0.
A starting address record is created at the beginning of an HEX16 format file.
