<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bliteral_005fprefix_007d-directive-2496"></a>
The <code>literal_prefix</code> directive allows you to override the default
literal section names, which are derived from the names of the sections
where the literals are defined.
<pre class="smallexample"> .begin literal_prefix [<var>name</var>]
.end literal_prefix
</pre>
<p>For literals defined within the delimited region, the literal section
names are derived from the <var>name</var> argument instead of the name of
the current section. The rules used to derive the literal section names
do not change. See <a href="Literal-Directive.html#Literal-Directive">literal</a>. If the <var>name</var>
argument is omitted, the literal sections revert to the defaults. This
directive has no effect when using the
‘<samp><span class="samp">--text-section-literals</span></samp>’ option (see <a href="Xtensa-Options.html#Xtensa-Options">Command Line Options</a>).
