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

648 SECTION
649 Error reporting
651 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
652 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
653 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
654 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
655 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
656 <<errno>>.
658 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
659 use <<bfd_perror>>.
661 SUBSECTION
662 Type <<bfd_error_type>>

863 BFD error handler
865 Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the
866 problem. They call a BFD error handler function. This
867 function may be overridden by the program.
869 The BFD error handler acts like vprintf.

1464 DESCRIPTION
1465 This is the default routine to handle BFD error messages.
1466 Like fprintf (stderr, ...), but also handles some extra format
1467 specifiers.
1469 %pA section name from section. For group components, prints
1470 group name too.
1471 %pB file name from bfd. For archive components, prints
1472 archive too.
1474 Beware: Only supports a maximum of 9 format arguments.

1569 BFD assert handler
1571 If BFD finds an internal inconsistency, the bfd assert
1572 handler is called with information on the BFD version, BFD
1573 source file and line. If this happens, most programs linked
1574 against BFD are expected to want to exit with an error, or mark
1575 the current BFD operation as failed, so it is recommended to
1576 override the default handler, which just calls
1577 _bfd_error_handler and continues.
