MERGE:from=to

  
## Remarks  
 The /MERGE option combines the first section (*from*) with the second section (*to*), naming the resulting section *to*. For example, `/merge:.rdata=.text`.  
  
 If the second section does not exist, LINK renames the section *from* as *to*.  
  
 The /MERGE option is useful for creating VxDs and overriding the compiler-generated section names.
