24 SECTION
25 <<typedef bfd>>
27 A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
28 cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
29 consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
31 Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>. It
32 contains the major data about the file and pointers
33 to the rest of the data.

224 SECTION
225 Error reporting
227 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
228 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
229 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
230 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
231 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
232 <<errno>>.
234 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
235 use <<bfd_perror>>.
237 SUBSECTION
238 Type <<bfd_error_type>>

826 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
827 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
828 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
829 the case.
831 RETURNS

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

1402 bfd_boolean bfd_preserve_save (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
1404 DESCRIPTION
1405 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular
1406 target back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set
1407 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1408 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1409 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1410 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1411 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1412 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1413 reinitializes the bfd.

1449 This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save.
1450 If MARKER is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block
1451 and all subsequently bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.

1481 SYNOPSIS

1484 DESCRIPTION
1485 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1486 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1487 object_p function returns with success.

1496 inside bfd_alloc'd memory. The section hash is on a separate
