DISASSEMBLER(3X)					      DISASSEMBLER(3X)

NAME
     disassembler - disassemble a MIPS instruction and print the results

SYNOPSIS
     int disassembler (iadr, regstyle, get_symname, get_regvalue,
	       get_bytes, print_header)
     unsigned  iadr;
     int       regstyle;
     char      *(*get_symname)();
     int       (*get_regvalue)();
     long      (*get_bytes)();
     void      (*print_header)();

DESCRIPTION
     Disassembler disassembles and prints a MIPS machine instruction on
     stdout.

     Iadr is the instruction address to be disassembled.  Regstyle specifies
     how registers are named in the disassembly; if the value is 0, compiler
     names are used; otherwise, hardware names are used.

     The next four arguments are function pointers, most of which give the
     caller some flexibility in the appearance of the disassembly.  The only
     function that MUST be provided is get_bytes. All other functions are
     optional.	Get_bytes is called with no arguments and returns the next
     byte(s) to disassemble.

     Get_symname is passed an address, which is the target of a jal
     instruction. If NULL is returned or if get_symname is NULL, the
     disassembler prints the address; otherwise, the string name is printed as
     returned from get_symname. If get_regvalue is not NULL, it is passed a
     register number and returns the current contents of the specified
     register.	Disassembler prints this information along with the
     instruction disassembly.  If print_header is not NULL, it is passed the
     instruction address iadr and the current instruction to be disassembled,
     which is the return value from get_bytes. Print_header can use these
     parameters to print any desired information before the actual instruction
     disassembly is printed.

     If get_bytes is NULL, the disassembler returns -1 and errno is set to
     EINVAL; otherwise, the number of bytes that were disassembled is
     returned.	If the disassembled word is a jump or branch instruction, the
     instruction in the delay slot is also disassembled.

     The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library
     libelfutil.a.
