subsegment dot attribute

[Vineet Sharma, Noida]

Hi,
        I have some problem with dot attribute of "segment_info_type". I
have ported GAS for a new port.In my case when reloc table is being filled,
dot attribute is used to fill the symbol index, which is wrong . And i have
not chenged this part of the code. So delibratly i have made it NULL. Can
any one tell me what is the signnificance of this attribute(dot) in
segment_info_type?


With Regards
Vineet
