Next: Output Section Address, Previous: Output Section Description, Up: SECTIONS
The name of the output section is section. section must
meet the constraints of your output format. In formats which only
support a limited number of sections, such as a.out, the name
must be one of the names supported by the format (a.out, for
example, allows only `.text', `.data' or `.bss'). If the
output format supports any number of sections, but with numbers and not
names (as is the case for Oasys), the name should be supplied as a
quoted numeric string. A section name may consist of any sequence of
characters, but a name which contains any unusual characters such as
commas must be quoted.
The output section name `/DISCARD/' is special; Output Section Discarding.
