23SECTION
24 File formats
25
26 A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
3fde5a36 27 formats supported by BFD are:
252b5132
RH
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.

51FUNCTION
52 bfd_check_format
53
54SYNOPSIS
55 boolean bfd_check_format(bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
56
57DESCRIPTION
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>>
3fde5a36 71 with one of the following error codes:
252b5132
RH
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.

107 a NULL-terminated list of the names of the formats that matched,
108 allocated with <<malloc>>.
109 Then the user may choose a format and try again.
110
111 When done with the list that @var{matching} points to, the caller
3fde5a36 112 should free it.
