Specifying @filename,key in place of address bases a set of programs (usually a set of DLLs) so they do not overlap in memory. filename is the name of a text file that defines the memory map for a set of files. key is a reference to a line in filename that begins with the specified key. Each line in the memory-map file has the syntax:

key address maxsize, where:

Separate the elements with one or more spaces or tabs. A comment in the memory-map file begins with a semicolon (;) and runs to the end of the line.

The linker issues a warning if the memory image of the program exceeds the specified size.
