Objdump output

Objdump output

[andy]

I have a couple of questions about objdump -output
1.
"
Program Header:
    LOAD off    0x00008000 vaddr 0xc0038000 paddr 0xc0038000 align 2**15
         filesz 0x000aa234 memsz 0x000c4270 flags rwx
"
What is LOAD off ?

What are "CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE" ,etc ? Are they runtime
directives ?
Where can I find the description of how they are interpreted ?
TIA

This mailing list is about GCC.  objdump is part of GNU binutils, a
separate project.  The mailing list devoted to this other project is
binutils@sources.redhat.com.  If you post there, it's more likely that
you'll get an answer for your question.
