Package: binutils-common
Version: 2.29.1-13
Severity: minor
The nm(1) man page contains:
"B"
"b" The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as BSS).
However, this is misleading, because this section is actually
initialized to zero (at least under Linux) and is used for symbols
corresponding to objects initialized to zero. The man page should
mention this fact, i.e. that objects initialized to zero may be
found in this section.
