25 <<typedef bfd>>
27 A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
28 cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
29 consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
31 Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>. It
32 contains the major data about the file and pointers
33 to the rest of the data.

228 Error reporting
230 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
231 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
232 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
233 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
234 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
235 <<errno>>.
237 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
238 use <<bfd_perror>>.
240 SUBSECTION

732 o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> - The target bfd was open for reading.
733 o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
734 The flag word contained a bit which was not applicable to the
735 type of file. E.g., an attempt was made to set the <<D_PAGED>> bit
736 on a BFD format which does not support demand paging.

829 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
830 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
831 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
832 the case.
834 RETURNS
835 Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
836 extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
837 not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

1412 SYNOPSIS
1413 bfd_boolean bfd_preserve_save (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
1415 DESCRIPTION
1416 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1417 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1418 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1419 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1420 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1421 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1422 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1423 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1424 reinitializes the bfd.

1459 DESCRIPTION
1460 This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.
1461 If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block
1462 and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

1492 SYNOPSIS

1495 DESCRIPTION
1496 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1497 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1498 object_p function returns with success.

1506 tdata, but that's not possible since these blocks are sitting
1507 inside bfd_alloc'd memory. The section hash is on a separate
