30 cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
31 consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.

350 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
351 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
352 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
353 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
354 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
357 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
361 Type <<bfd_error_type>>
363 The values returned by <<bfd_get_error>> are defined by the

569 Note - because these two extra format specifiers require special handling

572 must be the first ones in the variable argument list, regardless of where
573 the specifiers appear in the format string. Thus for example calling
574 this function with a format string of:
