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.
