+<para>
+This command is used to display header information from OS-9 memory
+modules. IDENT displays the module size, CRC bytes (with verification), and for
+program and device driver modules, the execution
+offset and the permanent storage requirement bytes. IDENT will
+print and interpret the type/language and attribute/revision bytes.
+In addition, IDENT displays the byte immediately following the
+module name since most Microware-supplied modules set this byte to
+indicate the module edition.
+</para>
+<para>
+IDENT will display all modules contained in a disk file. If the
+&quot;-m&quot; option appears, &replstart;path&replend; is assumed to be a module in memory.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the &quot;-v&quot; option is specified, the module CRC is not verified.
+</para>
+<para>
+The &quot;-x&quot; option implies the pathlist begins in the execution
+directory.

+The &quot;-s&quot; option causes IDENT to display the. following module
