- <p>Every link is controlled by a <em>linker script</em>. This script is
- written in the linker command language.
- </p>
- <p>The main purpose of the linker script is to describe how the sections in
- the input files should be mapped into the output file, and to control
- the memory layout of the output file. Most linker scripts do nothing
- more than this. However, when necessary, the linker script can also
- direct the linker to perform many other operations, using the commands
- described below.
- </p>
- <p>The linker always uses a linker script. If you do not supply one
- yourself, the linker will use a default script that is compiled into the
- linker executable. You can use the ‘<samp>--verbose</samp>’ command-line option
- to display the default linker script. Certain command-line options,
- such as ‘<samp>-r</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-N</samp>’, will affect the default linker script.
- </p>
- <p>You may supply your own linker script by using the ‘<samp>-T</samp>’ command
- line option. When you do this, your linker script will replace the
- default linker script.
- </p>
- <p>You may also use linker scripts implicitly by naming them as input files
- to the linker, as though they were files to be linked. See <a href="Implicit-Linker-Scripts.html#Implicit-Linker-Scripts">Implicit Linker Scripts</a>.
