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.

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

- three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.

constructor data, or an application may add a section (using

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:
