/SECTION (EDITBIN)

/SECTION:name[=newname][,attributes][alignment]

Remarks

This option changes the attributes of a section, overriding the attributes that were set when the object file for the section was compiled or linked.

After the colon ( : ), specify the name of the section. To change the section name, follow name with an equal sign (=) and a newname for the section.

To set or change the section's attributes, specify a comma (,) followed by one or more attributes characters. To negate an attribute, precede its character with an exclamation point (!). The following characters specify memory attributes:

Attribute	Setting
c	code
d	discardable
e	executable
i	initialized data
k	cached virtual memory
m	link remove
o	link info
p	paged virtual memory
r	read
s	shared
u	uninitialized data
w	write

To control alignment, specify the character A followed by one of the following characters to set the size of alignment in bytes, as follows:

Character	Alignment size in bytes
1	1
2	2
4	4
8	8
p	16
t	32
s	64
x	no alignment

Specify the attributes and alignment characters as a string with no white space. The characters are not case sensitive.
