share/man/man5 a.out.5
Log:
a.out.5 states that nobody seems to agree on what bss stands for. This is
incorrect, however, as Dennis Ritchie states ``Actually the acronym is "block
started by symbol." It was a pseudo-op in FAP (Fortran Assembly Program), an
assembler for the IBM <models> machines. It identified its label and set
aside space for a given number of words.''
