12.5.22 The /NONULLS Option

Option

/NON[[ULLSDOSSEG]]

The /NONULLS option arranges segments in the same order they are arranged by the /DOSSEG option. The only difference is that the /DOSSEG option inserts 16 null bytes at the beginning of the _TEXT segment (if it is defined), but /NONULLS does not insert the extra bytes.

If both the /DOSSEG and /NONULLS options are given, the /NONULLS option takes precedence. You can therefore use /NONULLS to override the DOSSEG comment record found in run-time libraries. This option is for segmented executable files.
