23.4 .mem

The .mem command opens a new IO space backed by a memory buffer. The syntax is:

.mem name

where name is the name of the buffer to create. Note that poke adds prefix and trailing asterisk characters, to differentiate file names from buffer names.

When invoked with no name, poke generates a new unique name for the buffer.

When a new memory buffer IOS is opened it becomes the current IO space. See .file.
