26 SECTION
27 File caching
29 The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
30 the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
31 regard to the underlying operating system's file descriptor
32 limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
33 <<cache.c>> maintains a least recently used list of
34 <<BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN>> files, and exports the name
35 <<bfd_cache_lookup>>, which runs around and makes sure that
36 the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
37 close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
38 handle.
