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.

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

743 int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);
745 DESCRIPTION
746 Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends
747 an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address
748 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
749 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
750 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
751 the case.
753 RETURNS
754 Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
755 extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
756 not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

901 The expression is assumed to be unsigned (i.e., positive).
902 If given a @var{base}, it is used as the base for conversion.
903 A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string
904 in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise
905 in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.
907 If the value would overflow, the maximum <<bfd_vma>> value is
908 returned.

1295 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1296 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1297 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1298 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1299 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1300 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1301 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1302 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1303 reinitializes the bfd.
