							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p><a name="index-SECTIONS-361"></a>The <code>SECTIONS</code> command tells the linker how to map input sections
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								into output sections, and how to place the output sections in memory.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>The format of the <code>SECTIONS</code> command is:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">     SECTIONS
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								       <var>sections-command</var>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								       <var>sections-command</var>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								       ...
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>Each <var>sections-command</var> may of be one of the following:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     <ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>an <code>ENTRY</code> command (see <a href="Entry-Point.html#Entry-Point">Entry command</a>)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>a symbol assignment (see <a href="Assignments.html#Assignments">Assignments</a>)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>an output section description
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>an overlay description
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>The <code>ENTRY</code> command and symbol assignments are permitted inside the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>SECTIONS</code> command for convenience in using the location counter in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								those commands.  This can also make the linker script easier to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								understand because you can use those commands at meaningful points in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the layout of the output file.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>Output section descriptions and overlay descriptions are described
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								below.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>If you do not use a <code>SECTIONS</code> command in your linker script, the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								linker will place each input section into an identically named output
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								section in the order that the sections are first encountered in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								input files.  If all input sections are present in the first file, for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								example, the order of sections in the output file will match the order
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in the first input file.  The first section will be at address zero.
