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.

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

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

863 FUNCTION
864 bfd_get_size
866 SYNOPSIS
867 long bfd_get_size(bfd *abfd);
869 DESCRIPTION
870 Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
871 associated with BFD @var{abfd}.
873 The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
874 so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
875 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
876 It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
877 it so that such results were guaranteed.
879 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
880 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
881 As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
882 use string tables for which the first <<sizeof (long)>> bytes of the
883 table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
884 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
885 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
886 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
887 for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
888 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
889 exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
890 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
891 This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
892 size reasonable?".

1420 DESCRIPTION
1421 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1422 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1423 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1424 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1425 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1426 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1427 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1428 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1429 reinitializes the bfd.

1469 This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.
1470 If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block
1471 and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

1507 DESCRIPTION
1508 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1509 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1510 object_p function returns with success.
