26 All the prototypes and definitions following the comment "THE FOLLOWING

28 BFD. If you change it, someone oneday will extract it from the source

30 change the definitions in the source in the bfd directory. Type "make

32 will change to reflect your changes.
34 If you don't have the tools to perform the extraction, then you are

332 Opens the file supplied (using @code{fopen}) with the target supplied, it
333 returns a pointer to the created BFD.

343 bfd_fdopenr is to bfd_fopenr much like fdopen is to fopen. It opens a BFD on
344 a file already described by the @var{fd} supplied.
346 Possible errors are no_memory, invalid_target and system_call error.
348 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_fdopenr,

354 Creates a BFD, associated with file @var{filename}, using the file
355 format @var{target}, and returns a pointer to it.
357 Possible errors are system_call_error, no_memory, invalid_target.
359 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_openw, (CONST char *filename, CONST char *target));
364 This function closes a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then
365 pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed.
366 If the created file is executable, then @code{chmod} is called to mark
369 All memory attached to the BFD's obstacks is released.
371 @code{true} is returned if all is ok, otherwise @code{false}.
373 PROTO(boolean, bfd_close,(bfd *));
378 This routine creates a new BFD in the manner of @code{bfd_openw}, but without
379 opening a file. The new BFD takes the target from the target used by
380 @var{template}. The format is always set to @code{bfd_object}.
383 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_create, (CONST char *filename, bfd *template));
388 Return the number of bytes in the obstacks connected to the supplied

400 These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in sections;
401 each access (except for bytes) is vectored through the target format
402 of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The mangling performs any
403 necessary endian translations and removes alignment restrictions.

532 used by @code{g++}. When a back end sees a symbol which should be used
533 in a constructor list, it creates a new section for the type of name

535 relocation. To build the lists of constructors, all the linker has to

1908 This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target.
1909 It includes things like its byte order, name, what routines to call
1910 to do various operations, etc.
1912 Every BFD points to a target structure with its "xvec" member.
1914 Shortcut for declaring fields which are prototyped function pointers,
1915 while avoiding anguish on compilers that don't support protos.

1924 These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the bfd_target
1925 vector. They are used in a number of macros further down in @file{bfd.h}, and
1926 are also used when calling various routines by hand inside the BFD
1927 implementation. The "arglist" argument must be parenthesized; it
1928 contains all the arguments to the called function.
1931 #define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
1932 ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)

1939 (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
1942 This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is. The
1943 "xvec" member of the struct @code{bfd} itself points here. Each module
1944 that implements access to a different target under BFD, defines
1947 FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of the
1948 entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one macro to

2160 named target_name. If target_name is NULL, chooses the one in the

2162 the first entry in the target list is chosen. Passing in the
2163 string "default" or setting the environment variable to "default"
2164 will cause the first entry in the target list to be returned,

2193 the known target backends will be interrogated to determine a match.
