29 The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
30 the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
31 regard to the underlying operating system's file descriptor
32 limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
33 <<cache.c>> maintains a least recently used list of
34 <<BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN>> files, and exports the name
35 <<bfd_cache_lookup>>, which runs around and makes sure that
36 the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
37 close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
47 #include "libiberty.h"
49 /* In some cases we can optimize cache operation when reopening files.
50 For instance, a flush is entirely unnecessary if the file is already
51 closed, so a flush would use CACHE_NO_OPEN. Similarly, a seek using
52 SEEK_SET or SEEK_END need not first seek to the current position.
53 For stat we ignore seek errors, just in case the file has changed
54 while we weren't looking. If it has, then it's possible that the
55 file is shorter and we don't want a seek error to prevent us doing
