25 The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
26 the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
27 regard to the underlying operating system's file descriptor
28 limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
29 <<cache.c>> maintains a least recently used list of
30 <<BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN>> files, and exports the name
31 <<bfd_cache_lookup>> which runs around and makes sure that
32 the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
33 close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
44 BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN macro

219 (possibly null) that results from this operation. Sets up the
220 BFD so that future accesses know the file is open. If the FILE
221 * returned is null, then there is won't have been put in the
222 cache, so it won't have to be removed from it.
