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. ## See Also [EDITBIN Options](../Topic/EDITBIN%20Options.md)
