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

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

816 FUNCTION
817 bfd_get_size
819 SYNOPSIS
820 long bfd_get_size(bfd *abfd);
822 DESCRIPTION
823 Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
824 associated with BFD @var{abfd}.
826 The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
827 so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
828 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
829 It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
830 it so that such results were guaranteed.
832 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
833 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
834 As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
835 use string tables for which the first <<sizeof (long)>> bytes of the
836 table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
837 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
838 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
839 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
840 for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
841 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
842 exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
843 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
844 This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
845 size reasonable?".
