These-days I'm referring File Handling System Calls in Linux.

Furthermore I understood ELF which is Executable and Linkable Format , contains set of sections.

Those are .bss , .data , .rodata , .text , .comment , and unknown

I referred Wikipedia and this Website to study

So I have below questions

why ELF file uses set of sections?

what is the task of each above section ?

what is the feasibility of this using set of sections ?
