set-section-flags of objcopy

Hi,

Can anybody tell me where I can find the meaning of every single flag which is used in set-section-flags of objcopy? i.e. what are the meaning of "alloc", "load", "readonly", "code", "data", and "rom"?

Thanks a lot!

Frank

`--set-section-flags SECTION=FLAGS' Set the flags for the named section. The FLAGS argument is a comma separated string of flag names. The recognized names are `alloc', `contents', `load', `noload', `readonly', `code', `data', `rom', `share', and `debug'. You can set the `contents' flag for a section which does not have contents, but it is not meaningful to clear the `contents' flag of a section which does have contents-just remove the section instead. Not all flags are meaningful for all object file formats.

Note the last sentence. A linux or unix newsgroup might be better.
