-@subsection Section Input
-When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are created
-and attatched to the BFD.
-
-Each section has a name which describes the section in the outside
-world - for example, @code{a.out} would contain at least three
-sections, called @code{.text}, @code{.data} and @code{.bss}.
-
-Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the 'natural' number of
-sections. A back end may attatch other sections containing constructor
-data, or an application may add a section (using bfd_make_section) to
-the sections attatched to an already open BFD. For example, the linker
-creates a supernumary section @code{COMMON} for each input file's BFD
-to hold information about common storage.
-
-The raw data is not necessarily read in at the same time as the
-section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the data in
-place until a @code{bfd_get_section_contents} call is made. Other back
-ends may read in all the data at once - For 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.
-
-@node Section Output,typedef asection,Section Input,Sections
-@subsection Section Output
-To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be written
-have to be created. They are attatched to the BFD in the same way as
-input sections, data is written to the sections using
-@code{bfd_set_section_contents}.
-
-The linker uses the fields @code{output_section} and
-@code{output_offset} to create an output file.
-
-The data to be written comes from input sections attatched to the
-output sections. The output section structure can be 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:
-
-*+
-
- section name "A"
- output_offset 0x00
- size 0x20
- output_section -----------> section name "O"
- | vma 0x100
- section name "B" | size 0x123
- output_offset 0x20 |
- size 0x103 |
- output_section --------|

+SUBSECTION
+ Section input
+
+ 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>>.
+
+ 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 an extra section
+ <<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
+ common storage.
+
+ The raw data is not necessarily read in when
+ the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
+ data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
+ made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For
+ 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.

+
+SUBSECTION
+ Section output
+
+ 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>>.
+
+ 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
+ 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.
+
+ E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
+ containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma
+ 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the <<asection>>
+ structures would look like:
+
+| section name "A"
+| output_offset 0x00
+| size 0x20
+| output_section -----------> section name "O"
+| | vma 0x100
+| section name "B" | size 0x123
+| output_offset 0x20 |
+| size 0x103 |
+| output_section --------|
+
+
+SUBSECTION
+ Link orders
+
+ The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.
+ These are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The link_order
+ abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.
+
+ A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next
+ link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to
+ a list of relocations which apply to it.
+
+ The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on
+ final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as
+ necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
+ select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
+ time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
+ are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
+ a link_order by link_order basis.
