<p>Reserve <var>length</var> (an absolute expression) bytes for a local common
denoted by <var>symbol</var>.  The section and value of <var>symbol</var> are
those of the new local common.  The addresses are allocated in the bss
section, so that at run-time the bytes start off zeroed.  <var>Symbol</var>
is not declared global (see <a href="Global.html#Global"><code>.global</code></a>), so is normally
not visible to <code>ld</code>.
</p>
<p>Some targets permit a third argument to be used with <code>.lcomm</code>.  This
argument specifies the desired alignment of the symbol in the bss section.
</p>
<p>The syntax for <code>.lcomm</code> differs slightly on the HPPA.  The syntax is
&lsquo;<samp><var>symbol</var> .lcomm, <var>length</var></samp>&rsquo;; <var>symbol</var> is optional.
