A.1 XML Information File Element Types

These element types will be generated by the linker:

• Container elements represent an object that contains other elements that describe the object. Container elements have an id attribute that makes them accessible from other elements.
• String elements contain a string representation of their value.
• Constant elements contain a 32-bit unsigned long representation of their value (with a 0x prefix).
• Reference elements are empty elements that contain an idref attribute that specifies a link to another container element.

In Section A.2, the element type is specified for each element in parentheses following the element description. For instance, the <link_time> element lists the time of the link execution (string).
