Chapter 7 Segmentation
Introduction to the Segmentation Module
The segmentation module provides a capability to specify object program
overlay requirements.
Segmentation provides a facility for specifying permanent and independent
segments. Segmentation also allows the intermixing of sections with
different segment-numbers and allows the fixed portion of the source
program to contain segments that can be overlaid.
