  24         File formats
  25
  26         A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
  27         formats supported by BFD are:
  28
  29         o <<bfd_object>>
  30
  31         The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
  32
  33         o <<bfd_archive>>
  34
  35         The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
  36
  37         o <<bfd_core>>
  38
  39         The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

  51 FUNCTION
  52         bfd_check_format
  53
  54 SYNOPSIS
  55         bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
  56
  57 DESCRIPTION
  58         Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
  59         with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
  60         <<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
  61
  62         If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
  63         call, only the named target and format combination is
  64         checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
  65         <<default>>, then all the known target backends is
  66         interrogated to determine a match.  If the default target
  67         matches, it is used.  If not, exactly one target must recognize
  68         the file, or an error results.
  69
  70         The function returns <<TRUE>> on success, otherwise <<FALSE>>
  71         with one of the following error codes:
  72
  73         o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
  74         if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
  75         <<bfd_core>>.
  76
  77         o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
  78         if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
  79         can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
  80
  81         o <<file_not_recognised>> -
  82         none of the backends recognised the file format.
  83
  84         o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
  85         more than one backend recognised the file format.

 103         Like <<bfd_check_format>>, except when it returns FALSE with

 105         case, if @var{matching} is not NULL, it will be filled in with
 106         a NULL-terminated list of the names of the formats that matched,
 107         allocated with <<malloc>>.
 108         Then the user may choose a format and try again.
 109
 110         When done with the list that @var{matching} points to, the caller
 111         should free it.

 188          actual pe-i386 archive.  Since there may be other problems of
