+saves command
+=============
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+    saves [offset [size [baud]]]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The *saves* command is used to transfer a file from the device via the serial
+line using the Motorola S-record file format.
+
+offset
+    start address of memory area to save, defaults to 0x0
+
+size
+    size of memory area to save, defaults to 0x0
+
+baud
+    baud rate to use for upload. This parameter is only available if
+    CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE=y
+
+Example
+-------
+
+In the example the *screen* command is used to connect to the U-Boot serial
+console.
+
+In a first screen session a file is loaded from the SD-card and the *saves*
+command is invoked. <CTRL+A><k> is used to kill the screen session.
+
+A new screen session is started which logs the output to a file and the
+<ENTER> key is hit to start the file output. <CTRL+A><k> is issued to kill the
+screen session.
+
+The log file is converted to a binary file using the *srec_cat* command.
+A negative offset of -1337982976 (= -0x4c000000) is applied to compensate for
+the offset used in the *saves* command.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    $ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
+    => echo $scriptaddr
+    0x4FC00000
+    => load mmc 0:1 $scriptaddr boot.txt
+    124 bytes read in 1 ms (121.1 KiB/s)
+    => saves $scriptaddr $filesize
