Field Summary

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
public static final int	BINDING_GLOBAL Binding specifying that global symbols are visible to all object files being combined.
public static final int	BINDING_HIPROC Upper bound binding values reserved for processor specific semantics.
public static final int	BINDING_LOCAL Binding specifying that local symbols are not visible outside the object file that contains its definition.
public static final int	BINDING_LOPROC Lower bound binding values reserved for processor specific semantics.
public static final int	BINDING_WEAK Binding secifying that the symbol resembles a global symbol, but has a lower precedence.
