SECTION
	<<typedef bfd>>

	A BFD has type <<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 <<bfd>>.  It
	contains the major data about the file and pointers
	to the rest of the data.

SECTION
	Error reporting

	Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
	individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,
	they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
	can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
        If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
	<<errno>>.

	The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
	use <<bfd_perror>>.

SUBSECTION
	Type <<bfd_error_type>>

	The values returned by <<bfd_get_error>> are defined by the
	enumerated type <<bfd_error_type>>.

DESCRIPTION
	Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file

	The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
	so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
	that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
	It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
	it so that such results were guaranteed.

	Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
	object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
	As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
	use string tables for which the first <<sizeof(long)>> bytes of the
	table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
	If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
	string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
	some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
	for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
	error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
	exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
	of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
	This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
	size reasonable?".
