Organisation of segments in the C's executable a.out

[pavi]

Hi,
I want to understand how the C's executable a.out is organised
into segments. Which segments the varibles are put into according to
their declarations. which Linux commands are used to check these
details. Kindly anyone suggest any books or documents or link which
contains details of the above.

Check your compiler's documentation, this stuff is implementation specific.

Let me be the first to say, with all the warmth and kindness one expects
and receives from the helpful posters here:

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

You need documentation specific to your operating system. gcc runs on
hundreds of different systems, and even on a single system can often
be configured to use different formats, so you're not likely to find
the kind of information you want in the documentation for gcc itself.
If it's Linux you're using, try a Linux newsgroup.
