Description:
Starts a code segment (with segment name <name>, if given)
and ends the previous segment, if any. Aligns the segment on a
2-byte boundary (.8086, .186, .286) or a 4-byte boundary (.386,
.486). The .MODEL directive must precede this directive.
Segment name <name> is an optional parameter that overrides the
default segment name. If <name> is not specified, the assembler
generates a segment called _TEXT (tiny, small, compact, and flat
models) or <modulename>_TEXT (medium, large, and huge models).
