@kindex ALIGNOF(@var{section})
@cindex section alignment
Return the alignment in bytes of the named @var{section}, if that section has
-been allocated. If the section has not been allocated when this is
-evaluated, the linker will report an error. In the following example,
-the alignment of the @code{.output} section is stored as the first
-value in that section.

+section does not exist in the linker script the linker will report an

+return the alignment of the next allocated section specified in the
+linker script, or zero if there is no such section. In the following
