@section @code{typedef bfd}
2
A BFD has type @code{bfd}; objects of this type are the
3
cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
4
consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
5
 
6
Here is the structure that defines the type @code{bfd}.  It
7
contains the major data about the file and pointers
8
to the rest of the data.

@section Error reporting
181
Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
182
individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,
183
they call @code{bfd_set_error} to set an error condition that callers
184
can check by calling @code{bfd_get_error}.
185
If that returns @code{bfd_error_system_call}, then check
186
@code{errno}.
187
 
188
The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
189
use @code{bfd_perror}.
190
 
191
@subsection Type @code{bfd_error_type}
192
The values returned by @code{bfd_get_error} are defined by the
193
enumerated type @code{bfd_error_type}.

the last BFD error was a system call failure.  If @var{message}
266

267
by @var{message}, a colon, and a space.  It is followed by a newline.
268

@subsection BFD error handler
270
Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the
271
problem.  They call a BFD error handler function.  This
272
function may be overridden by the program.
273
 
274
The BFD error handler acts like printf.
275
 
276
 
277
@example
278
 
279
typedef void (*bfd_error_handler_type) (const char *, ...);

@strong{Description}@*
299
Set the program name to use when printing a BFD error.  This
300
is printed before the error message followed by a colon and
301
space.  The string must not be changed after it is passed to
302
this function.

666
When more than one machine code number is available for the
667
same machine type, this function can be used to switch between

the preferred one (alternative == 0) and any others.  Currently,
669
only ELF supports this feature, with up to two alternate
670
machine codes.

692
@end example
693
@strong{Description}@*
694
When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
695
target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
696
up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
697
object.  This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
698
failures possible at many points.  On failure, the bfd is
699
supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
700
virtually impossible.  However, restoring a subset of the bfd
701
state works in practice.  This function stores the subset and
702
reinitializes the bfd.

709
@end example
710
@strong{Description}@*
711
This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.
712
If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block
713
and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

@strong{Description}@*
722
This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
723
bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed.  ie. when the back-end
724
object_p function returns with success.
