- SECTION
- Sections
-
- Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.
-
- The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
- section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
- sections, and keeps hold of them by pointing to the first,
- each one points to the next in the list.

- INODE
- Section Input, Section Output, Sections, Sections
- SUBSECTION
- Section Input
-
- When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
- created and attached to the BFD.
-
- Each section has a name which describes the section in the
- outside world - for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
- three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
-
- Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the 'natural' number of
- sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
- constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
- bfd_make_section) to the sections attached to an already open
- BFD. For example, the linker creates a supernumary section
- <<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
- common storage.
-
- The raw data is not necessarily read in at the same time as
- the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
- data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
- made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once - For
- example; an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
- size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
- sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
- the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
- relocations.
-

-
- SUBSECTION
- Section Output
-
- To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
- written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
- the same way as input sections, data is written to the
- sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
-
- Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
- and linker) must use the fields <<output_section>> and
- <<output_offset>> to indicate the file sections to which each
- section must be written. (If the section is being created from
- scratch, <<output_section>> should probably point to the section
- itself, and <<output_offset>> should probably be zero.)
-
- The data to be written comes from input sections attached to
- the output sections. The output section structure can be
- considered a filter for the input section, the output section
- determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
- input section determines the offset into the output section of
- the data to be written.
-
- E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
- containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (ie at vma
- 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (ie at vma 0x120) the structures
- would look like:
-
- | section name "A"
- | output_offset 0x00
- | size 0x20
- | output_section -----------> section name "O"
- | | vma 0x100
- | section name "B" | size 0x123
- | output_offset 0x20 |
- | size 0x103 |
- | output_section --------|
-
-
- SUBSECTION
- Seglets
-
- The data within a section is stored in a <<seglet>>. These
- are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The seglet abstraction
- allows the a section to grow and shrink within itself.
-
- A seglet knows how big it is, and which is the next seglet and
- where the raw data for it is, and also points to a list of
- relocations which apply to it.
-
- The seglet is used by the linker to perform relaxing on final
- code. The application creates code which is as big as
- necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
- select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
- time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
- are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
- a seglet by seglet basis.

- bfd_get_section_contents
-
- SYNOPSIS
- boolean bfd_get_section_contents
- (bfd *abfd, asection *section, PTR location,
- file_ptr offset, bfd_size_type count);
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function reads data from @var{section} in BFD @var{abfd}
- into memory starting at @var{location}. The data is read at an
- offset of @var{offset} from the start of the input section,
- and is read for @var{count} bytes.
-
- If the contents of a constuctor with the <<SEC_CONSTUCTOR>>
- flag set are requested, then the @var{location} is filled with
- zeroes. If no errors occur, <<true>> is returned, else
- <<false>>.
