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.

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

762 SYNOPSIS

765 DESCRIPTION
766 Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends
767 an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address
768 values when they are converted to types larger than the size
769 of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will
770 return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is
771 the case.
773 RETURNS
774 Returns <<1>> if the target architecture is known to sign
775 extend addresses, <<0>> if the target architecture is known to
776 not sign extend addresses, and <<-1>> otherwise.

857 FUNCTION
858 bfd_get_size
860 SYNOPSIS
861 long bfd_get_size(bfd *abfd);
863 DESCRIPTION
864 Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
865 associated with BFD @var{abfd}.
867 The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
868 so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
869 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
870 It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
871 it so that such results were guaranteed.
873 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
874 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
875 As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
876 use string tables for which the first <<sizeof (long)>> bytes of the
877 table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
878 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
879 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
880 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
881 for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
882 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
883 exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
884 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
885 This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
886 size reasonable?".
