DESCRIPTION
- Run through @var{abfd} and return the one of the
- <<asection>>s whose name matches @var{name}, otherwise <<NULL>>.
- @xref{Sections}, for more information.
-
- This should only be used in special cases; the normal way to process
- all sections of a given name is to use <<bfd_map_over_sections>> and
- <<strcmp>> on the name (or better yet, base it on the section flags
- or something else) for each section.
+ Return the most recently created section attached to @var{abfd}
+ named @var{name}. Return NULL if no such section exists.
