To be precise:
  text : is ANY read-only item, both code and data constants
  data : is read-write items with an initial value (on systems that
permit code to modify itself, any code that is modified goes here with
data)
  bss  : is read-write without an initial value (it is NOT required to
be initialized to zero, but is on many systems).
