SECTION
        <<typedef bfd>>

        A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
        cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
        consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.

        Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>.  It
        contains the major data about the file and pointers
        to the rest of the data.

SECTION
        Error reporting

        Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
        individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,
        they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
        can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
        If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
        <<errno>>.

        The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
        use <<bfd_perror>>.

SUBSECTION

FUNCTION
        bfd_get_sign_extend_vma

SYNOPSIS
        int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);

DESCRIPTION
        Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends
        an address.  Some architectures implicitly sign extend address
        values when they are converted to types larger than the size
        of an address.  For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
        return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
        the case.

RETURNS
        Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
        extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
        not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

FUNCTION
        bfd_get_size

SYNOPSIS
        long bfd_get_size(bfd *abfd);

DESCRIPTION
        Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
        associated with BFD @var{abfd}.

        The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
        so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
        that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
        It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
        it so that such results were guaranteed.

        Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
        object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
        As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
        use string tables for which the first <<sizeof(long)>> bytes of the
        table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
        If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
        string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
        some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
        for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
        error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
        exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
        of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
        This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
        size reasonable?".
