<p><a name="index-name_002c-section-424"></a><a name="index-section-name-425"></a>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 &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.text</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.data</span></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.bss</span></samp>&rsquo;). 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>The output section name &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">/DISCARD/</span></samp>&rsquo; is special; <a href="Output-Section-Discarding.html#Output-Section-Discarding">Output Section Discarding</a>.
