<p><a name="index-_0040code_007bpushsection_007d-directive-427"></a><a name="index-Section-Stack-428"></a>This is one of the ELF section stack manipulation directives. The others are
<code>.section</code> (see <a href="Section.html#Section">Section</a>), <code>.subsection</code> (see <a href="SubSection.html#SubSection">SubSection</a>),
<code>.popsection</code> (see <a href="PopSection.html#PopSection">PopSection</a>), and <code>.previous</code>
(see <a href="Previous.html#Previous">Previous</a>).
<p>This directive pushes the current section (and subsection) onto the
top of the section stack, and then replaces the current section and
subsection with <code>name</code> and <code>subsection</code>. The optional
<code>flags</code>, <code>type</code> and <code>arguments</code> are treated the same
as in the <code>.section</code> (see <a href="Section.html#Section">Section</a>) directive.
