26 All the prototypes and definitions following the comment "THE FOLLOWING
27 IS EXTRACTED FROM THE SOURCE" are extracted from the source files for
28 BFD. If you change it, someone oneday will extract it from the source
29 again, and your changes will be lost. To save yourself from this bind,
30 change the definitions in the source in the bfd directory. Type "make
31 docs" and then "make headers" in that directory, and magically this file
32 will change to reflect your changes.
34 If you don't have the tools to perform the extraction, then you are
35 safe from someone on your system trampling over your header files.
36 You should still maintain the equivalence between the source and this
37 file though; every change you make to the .c file should be reflected

331 void EXFUN(bfd_init,(void));
338 Opens the file supplied (using @code{fopen}) with the target supplied, it
339 returns a pointer to the created BFD.
341 If NULL is returned then an error has occured.
342 Possible errors are no_memory, invalid_target or system_call error.
344 PROTO(bfd*, bfd_openr, (CONST char *filename,CONST char*target));
349 bfd_fdopenr is to bfd_fopenr much like fdopen is to fopen. It opens a BFD on
350 a file already described by the @var{fd} supplied.
352 Possible errors are no_memory, invalid_target and system_call error.
354 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_fdopenr,
355 (CONST char *filename, CONST char *target, int fd));
360 Creates a BFD, associated with file @var{filename}, using the file
361 format @var{target}, and returns a pointer to it.
363 Possible errors are system_call_error, no_memory, invalid_target.
365 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_openw, (CONST char *filename, CONST char *target));
370 This function closes a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then
371 pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed.
372 If the created file is executable, then @code{chmod} is called to mark
375 All memory attached to the BFD's obstacks is released.
377 @code{true} is returned if all is ok, otherwise @code{false}.
379 PROTO(boolean, bfd_close,(bfd *));
384 This function closes a BFD. It differs from @code{bfd_close} since it
385 does not complete any pending operations. This routine would be used
386 if the application had just used BFD for swapping and didn't want to
387 use any of the writing code.
389 If the created file is executable, then @code{chmod} is called to mark
392 All memory attached to the BFD's obstacks is released.
394 @code{true} is returned if all is ok, otherwise @code{false}.
396 PROTO(boolean, bfd_close_all_done,(bfd *));
401 This routine creates a new BFD in the manner of @code{bfd_openw}, but without
402 opening a file. The new BFD takes the target from the target used by
403 @var{template}. The format is always set to @code{bfd_object}.
406 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_create, (CONST char *filename, bfd *template));
411 Return the number of bytes in the obstacks connected to the supplied
414 PROTO(bfd_size_type,bfd_alloc_size,(bfd *abfd));
423 These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in sections;
424 each access (except for bytes) is vectored through the target format
425 of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The mangling performs any
426 necessary endian translations and removes alignment restrictions.

556 in a constructor list, it creates a new section for the type of name

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

765 Possible error returns are:

768 The section cannot have one or more of the attributes requested. For
769 example, a .bss section in @code{a.out} may not have the

804 Sets @var{section} to the size @var{val}. If the operation is ok, then

820 Sets the contents of the section @var{section} in BFD @var{abfd} to
821 the data starting in memory at @var{data}. The data is written to the
822 output section starting at offset @var{offset} for @var{count} bytes.
