RE: what are map files


hi satya,

Map file generally generated by linker. This specifies
the memory map generated by linker. Generally map file
does not have any specific format such as coff or elf ..
It is a human readable file and the contents of this 
file are linker dependent. 
This file contains memory addresses and sizes of varios
sections, section types(e.g. noload section etc), 

thanx

Your help will be highly appreciated.
