+::
+
+    md <address>[<data_size>] [<length>]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The md command is used to dump the contents of memory. It uses a standard
+format that includes the address, hex data and ASCII display. It supports
+various data sizes and uses the endianness of the target.
+
+The specified data_size and length become the defaults for future memory
+commands commands.
+
+address
+    start address to display
+
+data_size
+    size of each value to display (defaults to .l):
+
+    =========  ===================
+    data_size  Output size
+    =========  ===================
+    .b         byte
+    .w         word (16 bits)
+    .l         long (32 bits)
+    .q         quadword (64 bits)
+    =========  ===================
+
+length
+    number of values to dump. Defaults to 40 (0d64). Note that this is not
+    the same as the number of bytes, unless .b is used.
+

+in the same format as before.
