option
The IDF option name.

The IDF options control the environment of IDF, which in turn controls the way IDF works, and the information you see on the screen.

Most options can be controlled through the SET OPTION command. Many of these options can also be specified at the invocation of IDF, either as parameters to the ASMIDF call, or as items in the PROFILE macro. The restrictions that apply to options specified in a PROFILE macro are set out in Command restrictions related to PROFILE execution.

Some options are invocation options only, and cannot be controlled after invocation with the SET OPTION command. The information provided by these options must be available at invocation. It makes no sense for it to be provided later.

Some options are controlled by a command of the same name. Some of these can also be specified at invocation.

These options can be specified at invocation and set by the SET OPTION command:

These options are set and changed by a command with the same name. They cannot be specified as an invocation parameter, but each option has an initial value:

These options are set by a command with the same name, and can be specified as an invocation parameter:

These options are specified only as an invocation option. They cannot be changed by a command, or by the SET OPTION command:

For explanations of options specified at invocation, see Invoking IDF to debug your program.

For explanations of options specified by a command, see the command description.

The current state of many options is displayed in the Options window, see Options window.

You can use the alternate syntax of option ON or SET option ON when the option name does not conflict with any other command or SET command name. If the option name conflicts with a command name, the alternate syntax SET option ON may still be used.

Examples

hexinput ON
SET offset ON
SET OPTION ON impmacro
