24 SECTION
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.

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

1325 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1326 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1327 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1328 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1329 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1330 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1331 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1332 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1333 reinitializes the bfd.
