  29 DESCRIPTION
  30         Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation
  31         of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
  32         part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
  33         which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
  34         translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
  35         calls to the back end routines.
  36
  37         When a file is opened with <<bfd_openr>>, its format and
  38         target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
  39         how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:
  40
  41         o Create a BFD by calling the internal routine
  42         <<new_bfd>>, then call <<bfd_find_target>> with the
  43         target string supplied to <<bfd_openr>> and the new BFD pointer.
  44
  45         o If a null target string was provided to <<bfd_find_target>>,
  46         look up the environment variable <<GNUTARGET>> and use
  47         that as the target string.
  48
  49         o If the target string is still NULL, or the target string is
  50         <<default>>, then use the first item in the target vector
  51         as the target type, and set <<target_defaulted>> in the BFD to
  52         cause <<bfd_check_format>> to loop through all the targets.
  53         @xref{bfd_target}.  @xref{Formats}.
  54
  55         o Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector
  56         one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
  57         use it.
  58
  59         o Otherwise return the error <<invalid_target>> to
  60         <<bfd_openr>>.
  61
  62         o <<bfd_openr>> attempts to open the file using
  63         <<bfd_open_file>>, and returns the BFD.
  64
  65         Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
  66         format may be determined. This is done by calling
  67         <<bfd_check_format>> on the BFD with a suggested format.
  68         If <<target_defaulted>> has been set, each possible target
  69         type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format.
  70         <<bfd_check_format>> returns <<true>> when the caller guesses right.

  84
  85 DESCRIPTION
  86         This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
  87         target. It includes things like its byte order, name, and which
  88         routines to call to do various operations.
  89
  90         Every BFD points to a target structure with its <<xvec>>
  91         member.
  92
  93         The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the
  94         <<bfd_target>> vector. They are used in a number of macros further
  95         down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
  96         routines by hand inside the BFD implementation.  The @var{arglist}
  97         argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
  98         to the called function.
  99
 100         They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
 101         someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
 102
 103 .#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
 104 .               ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
 105
 106         For operations which index on the BFD format:
 107
 108 .#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
 109 .            (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
 110
 111         This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is.  The
 112         <<xvec>> member of the struct <<bfd>> itself points here.  Each
 113         module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
 114         defines one of these.
 115
 116
 117         FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
 118         the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
 119         macro to define them both!

 562
 563 DESCRIPTION
 564         Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target
 565         named @var{target_name}.  If @var{target_name} is NULL, choose the
 566         one in the environment variable GNUTARGET; if that is null or not
 567         defined, then choose the first entry in the target list.
 568         Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment
 569         variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target
 570         list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the
 571         BFD.  This causes <<bfd_check_format>> to loop over all the
 572         targets to find the one that matches the file being read.
