22 /* This is a BFD backend which may be used to read or write binary
23 objects. Historically, it was used as an output format for objcopy
24 in order to generate raw binary data, but is now used for other
25 purposes as well.
27 This is very simple. The only complication is that the real data
28 will start at some address X, and in some cases we will not want to
29 include X zeroes just to get to that point. Since the start
30 address is not meaningful for this object file format, we use it
31 instead to indicate the number of zeroes to skip at the start of
32 the file. objcopy cooperates by specially setting the start
33 address to zero by default. */
