Eli, 
I haven't tested this, and I'm not sure whether the @table operator
can be nested?

+ @kindex maint info sections

+ Another command that can give you extra information about program sections
+ is @code{maint info sections}.  In addition to the section information
+ displayed by @code{info files}, this command displays the flags and file
+ offset of each section in the executable and core dump files.  In addition,
+ @code{maint info sections} provides the following command options (which
+ may be arbitrarily combined):
+ 
+ @table @code
+ @kindex maint info sections ALLOBJ
+ @item ALLOBJ
+ Display sections for all loaded object files, including shared libraries.
+ @kindex maint info sections @samp{<section name(s)>}
+ @item @samp{<section name(s)>}
+ Display info only for section(s) matching the listed name(s).
+ @kindex maint info sections @samp{<section flag(s)>}
+ @item @samp{<section flag(s)>}
+ Display info only for sections for which @samp{<section flag(s)>} are true.
+ The section flags that @value{GDBN} currently knows about are @code{ALLOC,
+ LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE, DATA, ROM, CONSTRUCTOR, HAS_CONTENTS, 
+ NEVER_LOAD, COFF_SHARED_LIBRARY,} and @code{IS_COMMON}.
+ @end table
+ 
  @end table
  
  All file-specifying commands allow both absolute and relative file names
