SECTION
        Sections

        The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
        section abstraction.  A single BFD may have any number of
        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>>.

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.
