Forming addresses

In adb, every address has the following form:

[ segment :] offset

In the above command line segment is an expression giving the address of a specific segment of 8086/286/386 memory, and offset is an expression giving an offset from the beginning of the specified segment to the desired item. Segments and offsets are formed by combining numbers, symbols, variables, and operators. The following are some valid addresses:

   0:1
   0x0bce:772
The segment: is optional. If not given, the most recently typed segment is used.
