13 @subsubsection @code{bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int}
16 bfd_boolean bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int (bfd *, unsigned int);
18 @strong{Description}@*
19 Write a 4 byte integer @var{i} to the output BFD @var{abfd}, in big
20 endian order regardless of what else is going on. This is useful in
24 @subsubsection @code{bfd_put_size}
26 @subsubsection @code{bfd_get_size}
27 @strong{Description}@*
28 These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in
29 sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through
30 the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The
31 mangling performs any necessary endian translations and
32 removes alignment restrictions. Note that types accepted and
33 returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped
34 around in macros---for example, @file{libaout.h} defines @code{GET_WORD}
35 to either @code{bfd_get_32} or @code{bfd_get_64}.
37 In the put routines, @var{val} must be a @code{bfd_vma}. If we are on a
38 system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making
39 sure that is true, with a cast if necessary. We don't cast
40 them in the macro definitions because that would prevent @code{lint}
41 or @code{gcc -Wall} from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.
42 To detect calling these with less than a @code{bfd_vma}, use
43 @code{gcc -Wconversion} on a host with 64 bit @code{bfd_vma}'s.

103 These macros have the same function as their @code{bfd_get_x}
104 brethren, except that they are used for removing information
105 for the header records of object files. Believe it or not,
106 some object files keep their header records in big endian
107 order and their data in little endian order.
