27 A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
28 formats supported by BFD are:
32 The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
36 The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
40 The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.
50 /* IMPORT from targets.c. */
51 extern const size_t _bfd_target_vector_entries
;
58 bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
61 Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
62 with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
63 <<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
65 If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
66 call, only the named target and format combination is
67 checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
68 <<default>>, then all the known target backends is
69 interrogated to determine a match. If the default target
70 matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize
71 the file, or an error results.
73 The function returns <<TRUE>> on success, otherwise <<FALSE>>
74 with one of the following error codes:
76 o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
77 if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
80 o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
81 if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
82 can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
84 o <<file_not_recognised>> -
85 none of the backends recognised the file format.
87 o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
88 more than one backend recognised the file format.
