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

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

822 FUNCTION
823 bfd_get_size
825 SYNOPSIS
826 long bfd_get_size(bfd *abfd);
828 DESCRIPTION
829 Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
830 associated with BFD @var{abfd}.
832 The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
833 so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
834 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
835 It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
836 it so that such results were guaranteed.
838 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
839 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
840 As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
841 use string tables for which the first <<sizeof(long)>> bytes of the
842 table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
843 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
844 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
845 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
846 for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
847 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
848 exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
849 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
850 This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
851 size reasonable?".

972 in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise
973 in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.
