So your command seems to be interpreted as mw -q 0 0x0000000300000050 Hmm, I cannot reproduce that, for me the above command is interpreted as mw -l 0 0x50 3 So at least doing diff --git a/commands/mw.c b/commands/mw.c index bb6a16ef3d45..2c8ec456076c 100644 --- a/commands/mw.c +++ b/commands/mw.c @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ static int do_mem_mw(int argc, char *argv[]) int mode = O_RWSIZE_4; loff_t adr; int swab = 0; + char *endp; if (mem_parse_options(argc, argv, "bwlqd:x", &mode, NULL, &filename, &swab) < 0) @@ -50,7 +51,11 @@ static int do_mem_mw(int argc, char *argv[]) if (optind + 1 >= argc) return COMMAND_ERROR_USAGE; - adr = strtoull_suffix(argv[optind++], NULL, 0); + adr = strtoull_suffix(argv[optind++], &endp, 0); + if (*endp != '\0') { + pr_err("Failed to parse address\n"); + return 1; + } fd = open_and_lseek(filename, mode | O_WRONLY, adr); if (fd < 0) consistently (i.e. also for the other mem commands and the values) and teaching mem_parse_options to error out if more than one of -b -w -l -q is given would help.
