23SECTION
24 Sections
25
26 The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
27 section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
28 sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first;
29 each one points to the next in the list.
30
31 Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.

43 Section input
44
45 When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
46 created and attached to the BFD.
47
48 Each section has a name which describes the section in the
49 outside world---for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
50 three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
51
52 Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
53 sections named <<.data>>.
54
55 Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the ``natural'' number of
56 sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
57 constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
58 <<bfd_make_section>>) to the sections attached to an already open
59 BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section
60 <<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
61 common storage.
62
63 The raw data is not necessarily read in when
64 the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
65 data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
66 made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For
67 example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
fdef3943 68 size of the data.

74 Section output
75
76 To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
77 written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
78 the same way as input sections; data is written to the
79 sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
80
81 Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
82 and linker) must use the <<asection>> fields <<output_section>> and
83 <<output_offset>> to indicate the file sections to which each
84 section must be written. (If the section is being created from
85 scratch, <<output_section>> should probably point to the section
86 itself and <<output_offset>> should probably be zero.)
87
88 The data to be written comes from input sections attached
89 (via <<output_section>> pointers) to
90 the output sections. The output section structure can be
91 considered a filter for the input section: the output section
92 determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
93 input section determines the offset into the output section of
94 the data to be written.
95
96 E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
97 containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma
98 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the <<asection>>
99 structures would look like:
100
101| section name "A"
102| output_offset 0x00
103| size 0x20
104| output_section -----------> section name "O"
105| | vma 0x100
106| section name "B" | size 0x123
107| output_offset 0x20 |
108| size 0x103 |
109| output_section --------|

111SUBSECTION
112 Link orders
113
114 The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.
115 These are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The link_order
116 abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.
117
118 A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next
119 link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to
120 a list of relocations which apply to it.
121
122 The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on
123 final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as
124 necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
125 select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
126 time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
127 are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
128 a link_order by link_order basis.
