26 <<typedef bfd>>
28 A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
29 cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
30 consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
32 Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>. It
33 contains the major data about the file and pointers
34 to the rest of the data.

326 Error reporting
328 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
329 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
330 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
331 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
332 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
333 <<errno>>.
335 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
336 use <<bfd_perror>>.
338 SUBSECTION

519 BFD error handler
521 Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the
522 problem. They call a BFD error handler function. This
523 function may be overridden by the program.
525 The BFD error handler acts like printf.
527 CODE_FRAGMENT

533 /* The program name used when printing BFD error messages. */

538 Like fprintf (stderr, ...), but also handles some extra format specifiers.
540 %A section name from section. For group components, print group name too.
541 %B file name from bfd. For archive components, prints archive too.
543 Note - because these two extra format specifiers require special handling
544 they are scanned for and processed in this function, before calling
545 vfprintf. This means that the *arguments* for these format specifiers
546 must be the first ones in the variable argument list, regardless of where
547 the specifiers appear in the format string. Thus for example calling
548 this function with a format string of:

554 "blah %s blah %A blah %d blah %B",

1599 bfd_boolean bfd_preserve_save (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
1601 DESCRIPTION
1602 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1603 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1604 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1605 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1606 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1607 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1608 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1609 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1610 reinitializes the bfd.
