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