 |  | 
 | <p><a name="index-symbolic-constants-496"></a><a name="index-CONSTANT-497"></a>It is possible to refer to target specific constants via the use of | 
 | the <code>CONSTANT(</code><var>name</var><code>)</code> operator, where <var>name</var> is one of: | 
 |  | 
 |      <dl> | 
 | <dt><code>MAXPAGESIZE</code><dd><a name="index-MAXPAGESIZE-498"></a>The target's maximum page size. | 
 |  | 
 |      <br><dt><code>COMMONPAGESIZE</code><dd><a name="index-COMMONPAGESIZE-499"></a>The target's default page size.  | 
 | </dl> | 
 |  | 
 |    <p>So for example: | 
 |  | 
 | <pre class="smallexample">       .text ALIGN (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE)) : { *(.text) } | 
 | </pre> | 
 |    <p>will create a text section aligned to the largest page boundary | 
 | supported by the target. |
