SECTION
Sections
- Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.
-
The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
- sections, and keeps hold of them by pointing to the first,
+ sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first;
each one points to the next in the list.
+ Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.

When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
created and attached to the BFD.
Each section has a name which describes the section in the
- outside world - for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
- three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.

+ three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
- Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the 'natural' number of
+ Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
+ sections named <<.data>>.
+
+ Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the ``natural'' number of
sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
- bfd_make_section) to the sections attached to an already open
- BFD. For example, the linker creates a supernumary section
+ <<bfd_make_section>>) to the sections attached to an already open
+ BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section
<<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
common storage.

+ example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
relocations.

To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
- the same way as input sections, data is written to the
- sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
-
- The linker uses the fields <<output_section>> and
- <<output_offset>> to create an output file.
-
- The data to be written comes from input sections attached to
+ the same way as input sections; data is written to the
+ sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
+
+ Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
+ and linker) must use the <<asection>> fields <<output_section>> and
+ <<output_offset>> to indicate the file sections to which each
+ section must be written. (If the section is being created from
+ scratch, <<output_section>> should probably point to the section
+ itself and <<output_offset>> should probably be zero.)
+
+ The data to be written comes from input sections attached
+ (via <<output_section>> pointers) to
the output sections. The output section structure can be
- considered a filter for the input section, the output section
+ considered a filter for the input section: the output section
determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
input section determines the offset into the output section of
the data to be written.
- Eg to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
- containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (ie at vma
- 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (ie at vma 0x120) the structures
- would look like:
+ E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,

+ structures would look like:
| section name "A"
| output_offset 0x00

+ Link orders
- The data within a section is stored in a <<seglet>>. These

- allows the a section to grow and shrink within itself.
+ The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.

- The seglet is used by the linker to perform relaxing on final

are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
