527 The bfd_get_size function
530 long bfd_get_size(bfd *);
533 Return file size (as read from file system) for the file
534 associated with a bfd.
536 Note that the initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
537 so we can get the exact size of the object the bfd applies to, since
538 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example?).
539 Although it would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
540 it so that such results were guaranteed.
542 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
543 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
544 As as example of where we might want to do this, some object formats
545 use string tables for which the first sizeof(long) bytes of the table
546 contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
547 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
548 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
549 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
550 for the string table, etc), the only clue is likely to be a read
551 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
552 exhausted" error when it tries to allocated 15 bazillon bytes
553 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
