25SECTION
26 Sections
27
28 The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
29 section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
30 sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first;
31 each one points to the next in the list.
32
33 Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.

46
47 When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
48 created and attached to the BFD.
49
50 Each section has a name which describes the section in the
51 outside world---for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
52 three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
53
54 Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
55 sections named <<.data>>.
56
57 Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the ``natural'' number of
58 sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
59 constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
60 <<bfd_make_section>>) to the sections attached to an already open
61 BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section
62 <<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
63 common storage.
64
65 The raw data is not necessarily read in when
66 the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
67 data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
68 made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For
69 example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
70 size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
71 sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
72 the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
73 relocations.

80
81 To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
82 written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
83 the same way as input sections; data is written to the
84 sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
85
86 Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
87 and linker) must use the <<asection>> fields <<output_section>> and
88 <<output_offset>> to indicate the file sections to which each
89 section must be written. (If the section is being created from
90 scratch, <<output_section>> should probably point to the section
91 itself and <<output_offset>> should probably be zero.)
92
93 The data to be written comes from input sections attached
94 (via <<output_section>> pointers) to
95 the output sections. The output section structure can be
96 considered a filter for the input section: the output section
97 determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
98 input section determines the offset into the output section of
99 the data to be written.
100
101 E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
102 containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma
103 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the <<asection>>
104 structures would look like:
105
106| section name "A"
107| output_offset 0x00
108| size 0x20
109| output_section -----------> section name "O"
110| | vma 0x100
111| section name "B" | size 0x123
112| output_offset 0x20 |
113| size 0x103 |
114| output_section --------|

116SUBSECTION
117 Link orders
118
119 The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.
120 These are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The link_order
121 abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.
122
123 A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next
124 link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to
125 a list of relocations which apply to it.
126
127 The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on
128 final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as
129 necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
130 select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
131 time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
132 are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
133 a link_order by link_order basis.
