;; 	 [ The .data section ]		
;; This section is for defining constants, such as filenames or buffer sizes,
;; It includes the initialized variables
:: They look something like this:
;;
;;	var1	db	31
;;	var2	dw	-1
	
section .data


;; [ The .bss section ]
;; This section is where you declare your uninitialized variables.
;; They look something like this:
;; 
;; 	filename:	resb	255 	; REServe 255 Bytes
;; 	number:		resb	1	; REServe 1 Byte
section .bss

;; [ The .text section ]
;;
;; This is where the actual assembly code is written. 
section .text
    global main                       ;must be declared for linker (ld)
;; just like main in C -- if linking with gcc, must be main, otherwise does not have to.

main:                                 ;tell linker entry point

;; put your code here









;; The final part of the program must be a call to the operating system to exit
;;; the program.
        mov     ebx,0   ;successful termination of program
        mov     eax,1   ;system call number (sys_exit)
        int     0x80    ;call kernel

;; Notice the file just ends.
