<h4 class="subsubsection">3.6.4.5 Input Section Example</h4>
<p>The following example is a complete linker script.  It tells the linker
to read all of the sections from file <samp>all.o</samp> and place them at the
start of output section &lsquo;<samp>outputa</samp>&rsquo; which starts at location
&lsquo;<samp>0x10000</samp>&rsquo;.  All of section &lsquo;<samp>.input1</samp>&rsquo; from file <samp>foo.o</samp>
follows immediately, in the same output section.  All of section
&lsquo;<samp>.input2</samp>&rsquo; from <samp>foo.o</samp> goes into output section
&lsquo;<samp>outputb</samp>&rsquo;, followed by section &lsquo;<samp>.input1</samp>&rsquo; from <samp>foo1.o</samp>.
All of the remaining &lsquo;<samp>.input1</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.input2</samp>&rsquo; sections from any
files are written to output section &lsquo;<samp>outputc</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">SECTIONS {
  outputa 0x10000 :
    {
    all.o
    foo.o (.input1)
    }
</pre><pre class="smallexample">  outputb :
    {
    foo.o (.input2)
    foo1.o (.input1)
    }
</pre><pre class="smallexample">  outputc :
    {
    *(.input1)
    *(.input2)
    }
}
</pre></div>

<p>If an output section&rsquo;s name is the same as the input section&rsquo;s name
and is representable as a C identifier, then the linker will
automatically see <a href="PROVIDE.html#PROVIDE">PROVIDE</a> two symbols: __start_SECNAME and
__stop_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the name of the section.  These
indicate the start address and end address of the output section
respectively.  Note: most section names are not representable as
C identifiers because they contain a &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo; character.
