@section @code{typedef bfd}

A BFD has type @code{bfd}; objects of this type are the

cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD

consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.

Here is the structure that defines the type @code{bfd}.  It

contains the major data about the file and pointers

to the rest of the data.

@example

struct bfd

@{

  /* A unique identifier of the BFD  */

  unsigned int id;

  /* The filename the application opened the BFD with.  */

  const char *filename;

     BFD was opened. This is used to select which matching algorithm

     to use to choose the back end.  */

     state information on the file here...  */

  /* Set if we have a locally maintained mtime value, rather than

     getting it from the file each time.  */

  bfd_boolean mtime_set;

  /* File modified time, if mtime_set is TRUE.  */

  long mtime;

  /* Reserved for an unimplemented file locking extension.  */

@section Error reporting

Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their

individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,

they call @code{bfd_set_error} to set an error condition that callers

can check by calling @code{bfd_get_error}.

If that returns @code{bfd_error_system_call}, then check

@code{errno}.

The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to

use @code{bfd_perror}.

@subsection Type @code{bfd_error_type}

The values returned by @code{bfd_get_error} are defined by the

enumerated type @code{bfd_error_type}.

@example

typedef enum bfd_error

@{

  bfd_error_no_error = 0,

  bfd_error_system_call,

  bfd_error_invalid_target,

  bfd_error_wrong_format,

  bfd_error_wrong_object_format,

  bfd_error_invalid_operation,

  bfd_error_no_memory,

  bfd_error_no_symbols,

  bfd_error_no_armap,

  bfd_error_no_more_archived_files,

  bfd_error_malformed_archive,

  bfd_error_file_not_recognized,

  bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized,

  bfd_error_no_contents,

  bfd_error_nonrepresentable_section,

  bfd_error_no_debug_section,

  bfd_error_bad_value,

  bfd_error_file_truncated,

  bfd_error_file_too_big,

  bfd_error_on_input,

  bfd_error_invalid_error_code

@}

bfd_error_type;

@end example

@findex bfd_get_error

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_error}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_error_type bfd_get_error (void);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return the current BFD error condition.

@findex bfd_set_error

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_set_error (bfd_error_type error_tag, ...);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the BFD error condition to be @var{error_tag}.

If @var{error_tag} is bfd_error_on_input, then this function

takes two more parameters, the input bfd where the error

occurred, and the bfd_error_type error.

@findex bfd_errmsg

@subsubsection @code{bfd_errmsg}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

const char *bfd_errmsg (bfd_error_type error_tag);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return a string describing the error @var{error_tag}, or

the system error if @var{error_tag} is @code{bfd_error_system_call}.

@findex bfd_perror

@subsubsection @code{bfd_perror}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_perror (const char *message);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Print to the standard error stream a string describing the

last BFD error that occurred, or the last system error if

the last BFD error was a system call failure.  If @var{message}

is non-NULL and non-empty, the error string printed is preceded

by @var{message}, a colon, and a space.  It is followed by a newline.

@subsection BFD error handler

Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the

problem.  They call a BFD error handler function.  This

function may be overridden by the program.

The BFD error handler acts like printf.

@example

typedef void (*bfd_error_handler_type) (const char *, ...);

@end example

@findex bfd_set_error_handler

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error_handler}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_error_handler_type bfd_set_error_handler (bfd_error_handler_type);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the BFD error handler function.  Returns the previous

function.

@findex bfd_set_error_program_name

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error_program_name}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_set_error_program_name (const char *);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the program name to use when printing a BFD error.  This

is printed before the error message followed by a colon and

space.  The string must not be changed after it is passed to

this function.

@findex bfd_get_error_handler

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_error_handler}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_error_handler_type bfd_get_error_handler (void);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return the BFD error handler function.

@section Miscellaneous

@subsection Miscellaneous functions

@findex bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

long bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound (bfd *abfd, asection *sect);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return the number of bytes required to store the

relocation information associated with section @var{sect}

attached to bfd @var{abfd}.  If an error occurs, return -1.

@findex bfd_canonicalize_reloc

@subsubsection @code{bfd_canonicalize_reloc}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

long bfd_canonicalize_reloc

   (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **loc, asymbol **syms);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Call the back end associated with the open BFD

@var{abfd} and translate the external form of the relocation

information attached to @var{sec} into the internal canonical

form.  Place the table into memory at @var{loc}, which has

been preallocated, usually by a call to

@code{bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound}.  Returns the number of relocs, or

-1 on error.

The @var{syms} table is also needed for horrible internal magic

reasons.

@findex bfd_set_reloc

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_reloc}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_set_reloc

   (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **rel, unsigned int count);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the relocation pointer and count within

section @var{sec} to the values @var{rel} and @var{count}.

The argument @var{abfd} is ignored.

@findex bfd_set_file_flags

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_file_flags}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_boolean bfd_set_file_flags (bfd *abfd, flagword flags);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the flag word in the BFD @var{abfd} to the value @var{flags}.

Possible errors are:

@itemize @bullet

@item

@code{bfd_error_wrong_format} - The target bfd was not of object format.

@item

@code{bfd_error_invalid_operation} - The target bfd was open for reading.

@item

@code{bfd_error_invalid_operation} -

The flag word contained a bit which was not applicable to the

type of file.  E.g., an attempt was made to set the @code{D_PAGED} bit

on a BFD format which does not support demand paging.

@end itemize

@findex bfd_get_arch_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_arch_size}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

int bfd_get_arch_size (bfd *abfd);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Returns the architecture address size, in bits, as determined

by the object file's format.  For ELF, this information is

included in the header.

@strong{Returns}@*

Returns the arch size in bits if known, @code{-1} otherwise.

@findex bfd_get_sign_extend_vma

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_sign_extend_vma}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends

an address.  Some architectures implicitly sign extend address

values when they are converted to types larger than the size

of an address.  For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will

return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is

the case.

@strong{Returns}@*

Returns @code{1} if the target architecture is known to sign

extend addresses, @code{0} if the target architecture is known to

not sign extend addresses, and @code{-1} otherwise.

@findex bfd_set_start_address

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_start_address}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_boolean bfd_set_start_address (bfd *abfd, bfd_vma vma);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Make @var{vma} the entry point of output BFD @var{abfd}.

@strong{Returns}@*

Returns @code{TRUE} on success, @code{FALSE} otherwise.

@findex bfd_get_gp_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_gp_size}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

unsigned int bfd_get_gp_size (bfd *abfd);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP

register under MIPS ECOFF.  This is typically set by the @code{-G}

argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.

@findex bfd_set_gp_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_gp_size}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_set_gp_size (bfd *abfd, unsigned int i);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP

register under ECOFF or MIPS ELF.  This is typically set by

the @code{-G} argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.

@findex bfd_scan_vma

@subsubsection @code{bfd_scan_vma}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_vma bfd_scan_vma (const char *string, const char **end, int base);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Convert, like @code{strtoul}, a numerical expression

@var{string} into a @code{bfd_vma} integer, and return that integer.

(Though without as many bells and whistles as @code{strtoul}.)

The expression is assumed to be unsigned (i.e., positive).

If given a @var{base}, it is used as the base for conversion.

A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string

in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise

in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.

If the value would overflow, the maximum @code{bfd_vma} value is

returned.

@findex bfd_copy_private_header_data

@subsubsection @code{bfd_copy_private_header_data}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_header_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Copy private BFD header information from the BFD @var{ibfd} to the

the BFD @var{obfd}.  This copies information that may require

sections to exist, but does not require symbol tables.  Return

@code{true} on success, @code{false} on error.

Possible error returns are:

@itemize @bullet

@item

@code{bfd_error_no_memory} -

Not enough memory exists to create private data for @var{obfd}.

@end itemize

@example

#define bfd_copy_private_header_data(ibfd, obfd) \

target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set

up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the

object.  This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with

failures possible at many points.  On failure, the bfd is

supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is

virtually impossible.  However, restoring a subset of the bfd

state works in practice.  This function stores the subset and

reinitializes the bfd.

@findex bfd_preserve_restore

@subsubsection @code{bfd_preserve_restore}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_preserve_restore (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.

If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block

and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

@findex bfd_preserve_finish

@subsubsection @code{bfd_preserve_finish}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_preserve_finish (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

This function should be called when the bfd state saved by

bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed.  ie. when the back-end

object_p function returns with success.

@findex bfd_emul_get_maxpagesize

@subsubsection @code{bfd_emul_get_maxpagesize}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_vma bfd_emul_get_maxpagesize (const char *);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Returns the maximum page size, in bytes, as determined by

emulation.

@strong{Returns}@*

Returns the maximum page size in bytes for ELF, abort

otherwise.

@findex bfd_emul_set_maxpagesize

@subsubsection @code{bfd_emul_set_maxpagesize}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_emul_set_maxpagesize (const char *, bfd_vma);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

For ELF, set the maximum page size for the emulation.  It is

a no-op for other formats.

@findex bfd_emul_get_commonpagesize

@subsubsection @code{bfd_emul_get_commonpagesize}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

bfd_vma bfd_emul_get_commonpagesize (const char *);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Returns the common page size, in bytes, as determined by

emulation.

@strong{Returns}@*

Returns the common page size in bytes for ELF, abort otherwise.

@findex bfd_emul_set_commonpagesize

@subsubsection @code{bfd_emul_set_commonpagesize}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_emul_set_commonpagesize (const char *, bfd_vma);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

For ELF, set the common page size for the emulation.  It is

a no-op for other formats.

@findex bfd_demangle

@subsubsection @code{bfd_demangle}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

char *bfd_demangle (bfd *, const char *, int);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Wrapper around cplus_demangle.  Strips leading underscores and

other such chars that would otherwise confuse the demangler.

If passed a g++ v3 ABI mangled name, returns a buffer allocated

with malloc holding the demangled name.  Returns NULL otherwise

and on memory alloc failure.
