Use this command to repeatedly write a value to a specified region of memory.
The command requires three numerical arguments in hexadecimal format:
•  first is the starting address of the region to fill
•  second is the ending address of the region
•  third is the value to write to the memory region
The fill value may be a byte (octet), a word, or a long word, depending on the mode
selected by the switch.
