<p><a name="index-_0040code_007bpopsection_007d-directive-418"></a><a name="index-Section-Stack-419"></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>.pushsection</code> (see <a href="PushSection.html#PushSection">PushSection</a>), and <code>.previous</code>
(see <a href="Previous.html#Previous">Previous</a>).
<p>This directive replaces the current section (and subsection) with the top
section (and subsection) on the section stack. This section is popped off the
stack.
