Compare the data of a loadable section @var{section-name} in the
executable file of the program being debugged with the same section in
the remote machine's memory, and report any mismatches. With no
-arguments, compares all loadable sections. This command's
+arguments, compares all loadable sections. With an argument of
+@code{-r}, compares all loadable read-only sections. This command's
availability depends on the target's support for the @code{"qCRC"}
remote request.
