 - <p>The full description of an output section looks like this:
 - </p><div class="smallexample">
 - <pre class="smallexample"><var>section</var> [<var>address</var>] [(<var>type</var>)] :
 -   [AT(<var>lma</var>)]
 -   [ALIGN(<var>section_align</var>) | ALIGN_WITH_INPUT]
 -   [SUBALIGN(<var>subsection_align</var>)]
 -   [<var>constraint</var>]
 -   {
 -     <var>output-section-command</var>
 -     <var>output-section-command</var>
 -     …
 -   } [><var>region</var>] [AT><var>lma_region</var>] [:<var>phdr</var> :<var>phdr</var> …] [=<var>fillexp</var>] [,]
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>Most output sections do not use most of the optional section attributes.
 - </p>
 - <p>The whitespace around <var>section</var> is required, so that the section
 - name is unambiguous.  The colon and the curly braces are also required.
 - The comma at the end may be required if a <var>fillexp</var> is used and
 - the next <var>sections-command</var> looks like a continuation of the expression.
 - The line breaks and other white space are optional.
 - </p>
 - <p>Each <var>output-section-command</var> may be one of the following:
 - </p>
 - <ul>
 - <li> a symbol assignment (see <a href="Assignments.html#Assignments">Assignments</a>)
 - </li><li> an input section description (see <a href="Input-Section.html#Input-Section">Input Section</a>)
 - </li><li> data values to include directly (see <a href="Output-Section-Data.html#Output-Section-Data">Output Section Data</a>)
 - </li><li> a special output section keyword (see <a href="Output-Section-Keywords.html#Output-Section-Keywords">Output Section Keywords</a>)
 - </li></ul>
