523 abfd->mtime = buf.st_mtime; /* Save value in case anyone wants it */
529 The bfd_get_size function
532 long bfd_get_size(bfd *);
535 Return file size (as read from file system) for the file
536 associated with a bfd.
538 Note that the initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
539 so we can get the exact size of the object the bfd applies to, since
540 that might not be generally possible (archive members for example?).
541 Although it would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
542 it so that such results were guaranteed.
544 Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
545 object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
546 As as example of where we might want to do this, some object formats
547 use string tables for which the first sizeof(long) bytes of the table
548 contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
549 If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
550 string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
551 some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
552 for the string table, etc), the only clue is likely to be a read
553 error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
554 exhausted" error when it tries to allocated 15 bazillon bytes
555 of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
556 This function at least allows us to answer the quesion, "is the
