- Subject: placing data into a section
Hi,
When I am linking an elf executable, I would like to place some bulk
data (e.g. a zip file or some other binary file) into a section in the
final executable. How can I achieve this with ld commands and the
linker script?
It will be something like:
SECTIONS {
/* Other sections ... */
.data :
{
/* Some other data go here ... */
bulk_data_start = .;
*(.bulk_data)
bulk_data_end = .;
}
}
But how can I put a file into a .bulk_data section like that?
Thanks,
Bahadir
