| <p>The name of the output section is <var>section</var>. <var>section</var> must |
| meet the constraints of your output format. In formats which only |
| support a limited number of sections, such as <code>a.out</code>, the name |
| must be one of the names supported by the format (<code>a.out</code>, for |
| example, allows only ‘<samp>.text</samp>’, ‘<samp>.data</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.bss</samp>’). If the |
| output format supports any number of sections, but with numbers and not |
| names (as is the case for Oasys), the name should be supplied as a |
| quoted numeric string. A section name may consist of any sequence of |
| characters, but a name which contains any unusual characters such as |
| commas must be quoted. |
| </p> |
| <p>The output section name ‘<samp>/DISCARD/</samp>’ is special; <a href="Output-Section-Discarding.html#Output-Section-Discarding">Output Section Discarding</a>. |
