<h3 class="section">3.6 SECTIONS Command</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<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.
 | 
						|
