# ZeroStructOffset

## Description

Toggle display of the first field of a structure in an offset expression. This command forces IDA to display a full structure member name even if the offset of the member is equal to zero.

If used twice, the command cancels itself.

Example: Suppose we have the following structure:

```
    xxx     struc
    a       db ?
    b       db ?
    c       db ?
    xxx     ends

    dloc    xxx ?
```

Normally IDA displays references to it like this:

```
    mov     eax, offset dloc
    mov     eax, offset dloc.b
```

If you force IDA, then it displays member 'a':

```
    mov     eax, offset dloc.a
    mov     eax, offset dloc.b
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-9.5/ida-actions/zerostructoffset.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
