bfd_target
----------
*Description*
This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target. It
includes things like its byte order, name, and which routines to call
to do various operations.
Every BFD points to a target structure with its `xvec' member.
The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the
`bfd_target' vector. They are used in a number of macros further down
in `bfd.h', and are also used when calling various routines by hand
inside the BFD implementation. The ARGLIST argument must be
parenthesized; it contains all the arguments to the called function.
They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if someone
wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
#undef BFD_SEND
#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
(((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) : \
(bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
#endif
For operations which index on the BFD format:
#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
(((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
#undef BFD_SEND_FMT
#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
(((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
(((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist) : \
(bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
#endif
This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is. The
`xvec' member of the struct `bfd' itself points here. Each module that
implements access to a different target under BFD, defines one of these.
FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of the
entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one macro to define
them both!

........................
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean bfd_set_default_target (const char *name);
*Description*
Set the default target vector to use when recognizing a BFD. This
takes the name of the target, which may be a BFD target name or a
configuration triplet.
`bfd_find_target'
.................
*Synopsis*
const bfd_target *bfd_find_target (const char *target_name, bfd *abfd);
*Description*
Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target named
TARGET_NAME. If TARGET_NAME is `NULL', choose the one in the
environment variable `GNUTARGET'; if that is null or not defined, then
choose the first entry in the target list. Passing in the string
"default" or setting the environment variable to "default" will cause
the first entry in the target list to be returned, and
"target_defaulted" will be set in the BFD. This causes
`bfd_check_format' to loop over all the targets to find the one that
matches the file being read.
`bfd_target_list'
.................
*Synopsis*
const char ** bfd_target_list (void);
*Description*
Return a freshly malloced NULL-terminated vector of the names of all
the valid BFD targets. Do not modify the names.
`bfd_seach_for_target'
......................
*Synopsis*
const bfd_target * bfd_search_for_target (int (* search_func)
(const bfd_target *, void *),
void *);
*Description*
Return a pointer to the first transfer vector in the list of transfer
vectors maintained by BFD that produces a non-zero result when passed
to the function SEARCH_FUNC. The parameter DATA is passed, unexamined,
to the search function.

Architectures
=============
BFD keeps one atom in a BFD describing the architecture of the data
attached to the BFD: a pointer to a `bfd_arch_info_type'.
Pointers to structures can be requested independently of a BFD so
that an architecture's information can be interrogated without access
to an open BFD.
The architecture information is provided by each architecture
package. The set of default architectures is selected by the macro
`SELECT_ARCHITECTURES'. This is normally set up in the
`config/TARGET.mt' file of your choice. If the name is not defined,
then all the architectures supported are included.
When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an
initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to insert as
many items into the list of architectures as it wants to; generally
this would be one for each machine and one for the default case (an
item with a machine field of 0).
BFD's idea of an architecture is implemented in `archures.c'.
bfd_architecture
----------------
*Description*
This enum gives the object file's CPU architecture, in a global
sense--i.e., what processor family does it belong to? Another field
indicates which processor within the family is in use. The machine
gives a number which distinguishes different versions of the
architecture, containing, for example, 2 and 3 for Intel i960 KA and
i960 KB, and 68020 and 68030 for Motorola 68020 and 68030.

File: bfd.info, Node: Opening and Closing, Next: Internal, Prev: Architectures, Up: BFD front end
Opening and closing BFDs
========================
`bfd_openr'
...........
*Synopsis*
bfd *bfd_openr(const char *filename, const char *target);
*Description*
Open the file FILENAME (using `fopen') with the target TARGET. Return
a pointer to the created BFD.
Calls `bfd_find_target', so TARGET is interpreted as by that
function.
If `NULL' is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors
are `bfd_error_no_memory', `bfd_error_invalid_target' or `system_call'
error.
`bfd_fdopenr'
.............
*Synopsis*
bfd *bfd_fdopenr(const char *filename, const char *target, int fd);
*Description*
`bfd_fdopenr' is to `bfd_fopenr' much like `fdopen' is to `fopen'. It
opens a BFD on a file already described by the FD supplied.
When the file is later `bfd_close'd, the file descriptor will be
closed. If the caller desires that this file descriptor be cached by
BFD (opened as needed, closed as needed to free descriptors for other
opens), with the supplied FD used as an initial file descriptor (but
subject to closure at any time), call bfd_set_cacheable(bfd, 1) on the
returned BFD. The default is to assume no cacheing; the file
descriptor will remain open until `bfd_close', and will not be affected
by BFD operations on other files.
Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory',
`bfd_error_invalid_target' and `bfd_error_system_call'.
`bfd_openstreamr'
.................
*Synopsis*
bfd *bfd_openstreamr(const char *, const char *, PTR);
*Description*
Open a BFD for read access on an existing stdio stream. When the BFD
is passed to `bfd_close', the stream will be closed.
`bfd_openw'
...........
*Synopsis*
bfd *bfd_openw(const char *filename, const char *target);
*Description*
Create a BFD, associated with file FILENAME, using the file format
TARGET, and return a pointer to it.
Possible errors are `bfd_error_system_call', `bfd_error_no_memory',
`bfd_error_invalid_target'.
`bfd_close'
...........
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean bfd_close (bfd *abfd);
*Description*
Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending operations
are completed and the file written out and closed. If the created file
is executable, then `chmod' is called to mark it as such.
All memory attached to the BFD is released.
The file descriptor associated with the BFD is closed (even if it
was passed in to BFD by `bfd_fdopenr').
*Returns*
`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.
`bfd_close_all_done'
....................
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean bfd_close_all_done (bfd *);
*Description*
Close a BFD. Differs from `bfd_close' since it does not complete any
pending operations. This routine would be used if the application had
just used BFD for swapping and didn't want to use any of the writing
code.
If the created file is executable, then `chmod' is called to mark it
as such.
All memory attached to the BFD is released.
*Returns*
`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.
`bfd_create'
............
*Synopsis*
bfd *bfd_create(const char *filename, bfd *templ);
*Description*
Create a new BFD in the manner of `bfd_openw', but without opening a
file. The new BFD takes the target from the target used by TEMPLATE.
The format is always set to `bfd_object'.
`bfd_make_writable'
...................
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean bfd_make_writable (bfd *abfd);
*Description*
Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create' and converts it into one like as
returned by `bfd_openw'. It does this by converting the BFD to
BFD_IN_MEMORY. It's assumed that you will call `bfd_make_readable' on
this bfd later.
*Returns*
`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.
`bfd_make_readable'
...................
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean bfd_make_readable (bfd *abfd);
*Description*
Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create' and `bfd_make_writable' and
converts it into one like as returned by `bfd_openr'. It does this by
writing the contents out to the memory buffer, then reversing the
direction.
*Returns*
`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.
`bfd_alloc'
...........
*Synopsis*
PTR bfd_alloc (bfd *abfd, size_t wanted);
*Description*
Allocate a block of WANTED bytes of memory attached to `abfd' and
return a pointer to it.
`calc_crc32'
............
*Synopsis*
unsigned long calc_crc32 (unsigned long crc, const unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
*Description*
Advance the CRC32 given by CRC through LEN bytes of BUF. Return the
updated CRC32 value.
`get_debug_link_info'
.....................
*Synopsis*
char *get_debug_link_info (bfd *abfd, unsigned long *crc32_out)
*Description*
fetch the filename and CRC32 value for any separate debuginfo
associated with ABFD. Return NULL if no such info found, otherwise
return filename and update CRC32_OUT.
`separate_debug_file_exists'
............................
*Synopsis*
bfd_boolean separate_debug_file_exists (char * name, unsigned long crc32)
*Description*
Checks to see if NAME is a file and if its contents match CRC32.
`find_separate_debug_file'
..........................
*Synopsis*
char * find_separate_debug_file (bfd *abfd)
*Description*
Searches ABFD for a reference to separate debugging information, scans
various locations in the filesystem, including the file tree rooted at
DEBUG_FILE_DIRECTORY, and returns a filename of such debugging
information if the file is found and has matching CRC32. Returns NULL
if no reference to debugging file exists, or file cannot be found.
`bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink'
..........................
*Synopsis*
char * bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink(bfd *abfd, const char *dir);
*Description*
Takes a BFD and searches it for a .gnu_debuglink section. If this
section is found, examines the section for the name and checksum of a
'.debug' file containing auxiliary debugging information. Searches
filesystem for .debug file in some standard locations, including the
directory tree rooted at DIR, and if found returns the full filename.
If DIR is NULL, will search default path configured into libbfd at
build time.
*Returns*
`NULL' on any errors or failure to locate the .debug file, otherwise a
pointer to a heap-allocated string containing the filename. The caller
is responsible for freeing this string.
