39 .Nd end boundaries of image segments
49 are program segment end addresses.
52 is the first address after the end of the text segment.
55 is the first address after the end of the initialized data segment.
58 is the first address after the end of the data segment
60 when the program is loaded.
64 system call with zero as its argument to find the current end of the
73 manual page appeared in
76 Traditionally, no variable existed that pointed to the start of the
77 text segment because the text segment always started at address zero.
78 Although it is no longer valid to make this assumption, no
79 variable similar to the ones documented above exists to point to the
80 start of the text segment.
