<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;.
