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