23 SECTION
24 File caching
26 The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
27 the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
28 regard to the underlying operating system's file descriptor
29 limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
30 <<cache.c>> maintains a least recently used list of
31 <<BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN>> files, and exports the name
32 <<bfd_cache_lookup>>, which runs around and makes sure that
33 the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
34 close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
35 handle.

53 The maximum number of files which the cache will keep open at

68 SYNOPSIS

71 DESCRIPTION
72 Zero, or a pointer to the topmost BFD on the chain. This is
73 used by the <<bfd_cache_lookup>> macro in @file{libbfd.h} to
74 determine when it can avoid a function call.

81 bfd_cache_lookup
83 DESCRIPTION
84 Check to see if the required BFD is the same as the last one
85 looked up. If so, then it can use the stream in the BFD with
86 impunity, since it can't have changed since the last lookup;
87 otherwise, it has to perform the complicated lookup function.
