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.

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

732 o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> - The target bfd was open for reading.
733 o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
734 The flag word contained a bit which was not applicable to the
735 type of file. E.g., an attempt was made to set the <<D_PAGED>> bit
736 on a BFD format which does not support demand paging.

827 Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends
828 an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address
829 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
830 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
831 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
832 the case.
834 RETURNS
835 Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
836 extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
837 not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

1405 bfd_boolean bfd_preserve_save (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
1407 DESCRIPTION
1408 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1409 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1410 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1411 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1412 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1413 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1414 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1415 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and

1449 void bfd_preserve_restore (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
1451 DESCRIPTION
1452 This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.
1453 If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block
1454 and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

1487 DESCRIPTION
1488 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1489 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1490 object_p function returns with success.
