<h2 class="chapter">3 Linker Scripts</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><a name="index-scripts-307"></a><a name="index-linker-scripts-308"></a><a name="index-command-files-309"></a>Every link is controlled by a <dfn>linker script</dfn>.  This script is
 | 
						|
written in the linker command language.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The main purpose of the linker script is to describe how the sections in
 | 
						|
the input files should be mapped into the output file, and to control
 | 
						|
the memory layout of the output file.  Most linker scripts do nothing
 | 
						|
more than this.  However, when necessary, the linker script can also
 | 
						|
direct the linker to perform many other operations, using the commands
 | 
						|
described below.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The linker always uses a linker script.  If you do not supply one
 | 
						|
yourself, the linker will use a default script that is compiled into the
 | 
						|
linker executable.  You can use the <span class="samp">--verbose</span> command line option
 | 
						|
to display the default linker script.  Certain command line options,
 | 
						|
such as <span class="samp">-r</span> or <span class="samp">-N</span>, will affect the default linker script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>You may supply your own linker script by using the <span class="samp">-T</span> command
 | 
						|
line option.  When you do this, your linker script will replace the
 | 
						|
default linker script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>You may also use linker scripts implicitly by naming them as input files
 | 
						|
to the linker, as though they were files to be linked.  See <a href="Implicit-Linker-Scripts.html#Implicit-Linker-Scripts">Implicit Linker Scripts</a>.
