peek
n.,vt.
(and poke) The commands in most microcomputer BASICs for directly
accessing memory contents at an absolute address; often extended to mean
the corresponding constructs in any HLL (peek reads memory, poke modifies
it). Much hacking on small, non-MMU micros used to consist of peeking
around memory, more or less at random, to find the location where the
system keeps interesting stuff. Long (and variably accurate) lists of such
addresses for various computers circulated. The results of pokes at these
addresses may be highly useful, mildly amusing, useless but neat, or (most
likely) total lossage (see killer poke).
Since a real operating system provides useful, higher-level services for
the tasks commonly performed with peeks and pokes on micros, and real
languages tend not to encourage low-level memory groveling, a question like
?How do I do a peek in C?? is diagnostic of the newbie. (Of course, OS
kernels often have to do exactly this; a real kernel hacker would
unhesitatingly, if unportably, assign an absolute address to a pointer
variable and indirect through it.)

5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
PEEK
The command in most microcomputer BASICs for reading
memory contents (a byte) at an absolute address. POKE is the
corresponding command to write a value to an absolute address.
This is often extended to mean the corresponding constructs in
any High Level Language.
Much hacking on small microcomputers without MMUs consists
of "peek"ing around memory, more or less at random, to find
the location where the system keeps interesting stuff. Long
(and variably accurate) lists of such addresses for various
computers circulate (see interrupt list). The results of
"poke"s at these addresses may be highly useful, mildly
amusing, useless but neat, or total lossage (see killer
poke).
Since a real operating system provides useful, higher-level
services for the tasks commonly performed with peeks and pokes
on micros, and real languages tend not to encourage low-level
memory groveling, a question like "How do I do a peek in C?"
is diagnostic of the newbie. Of course, operating system
kernels often have to do exactly this; a real C hacker
would unhesitatingly, if unportably, assign an absolute
address to a pointer variable and indirect through it.
