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.

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

775 Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends
776 an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address
777 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
778 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
779 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
780 the case.
782 RETURNS
783 Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
784 extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
785 not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

937 A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string
938 in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise
939 in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.

1341 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1342 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1343 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1344 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1345 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1346 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1347 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1348 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1349 reinitializes the bfd.

1424 DESCRIPTION
1425 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1426 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1427 object_p function returns with success.

1437 tdata, but that's not possible since these blocks are sitting
