Displaying formatted XML (XML)

The XML command is used to parse raw data at a specified storage address and format it into a readable, indented XML tree structure. See XML command for the complete command syntax.

When invoked, a pop-up panel similar to the following is displayed:

Note:

If the XML command is issued from the Dump Storage display, the Address field is automatically initialized to the current address.

You can configure the following options on this panel:

Start Address: The explicit memory address where the XML formatting begins. The address parameter is 64-bit enabled. For details, see Specifying 64-bit addresses.
Format Length: The maximum number of bytes to read from the specified address. The default is 1000.

Press Enter to process the storage. The following output is displayed:
