23 This file is generated from various .c files, if you change it, your
26 All the prototypes and definitions following the comment "THE FOLLOWING
27 IS EXTRACTED FROM THE SOURCE" are extracted from the source files for
28 BFD. If you change it, someone oneday will extract it from the source
29 again, and your changes will be lost. To save yourself from this bind,
30 change the definitions in the source in the bfd directory. Type "make
31 docs" and then "make headers" in that directory, and magically this file
32 will change to reflect your changes.
34 If you don't have the tools to perform the extraction, then you are
35 safe from someone on your system trampling over your header files.
36 You should still maintain the equivalence between the source and this
37 file though; every change you make to the .c file should be reflected

330 void EXFUN(bfd_init,(void));
337 Opens the file supplied (using @code{fopen}) with the target supplied, it
338 returns a pointer to the created BFD.
340 If NULL is returned then an error has occured.
341 Possible errors are no_memory, invalid_target or system_call error.
343 PROTO(bfd*, bfd_openr, (CONST char *filename,CONST char*target));
348 bfd_fdopenr is to bfd_fopenr much like fdopen is to fopen. It opens a BFD on
349 a file already described by the @var{fd} supplied.
351 Possible errors are no_memory, invalid_target and system_call error.
353 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_fdopenr,
354 (CONST char *filename, CONST char *target, int fd));
359 Creates a BFD, associated with file @var{filename}, using the file
360 format @var{target}, and returns a pointer to it.
362 Possible errors are system_call_error, no_memory, invalid_target.
364 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_openw, (CONST char *filename, CONST char *target));
369 This function closes a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then
370 pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed.
371 If the created file is executable, then @code{chmod} is called to mark
374 All memory attached to the BFD's obstacks is released.
376 @code{true} is returned if all is ok, otherwise @code{false}.
378 PROTO(boolean, bfd_close,(bfd *));
383 This function closes a BFD. It differs from @code{bfd_close} since it
384 does not complete any pending operations. This routine would be used
385 if the application had just used BFD for swapping and didn't want to
386 use any of the writing code.
388 If the created file is executable, then @code{chmod} is called to mark
391 All memory attached to the BFD's obstacks is released.
393 @code{true} is returned if all is ok, otherwise @code{false}.
395 PROTO(boolean, bfd_close_all_done,(bfd *));
400 This routine creates a new BFD in the manner of @code{bfd_openw}, but without
401 opening a file. The new BFD takes the target from the target used by
402 @var{template}. The format is always set to @code{bfd_object}.
405 PROTO(bfd *, bfd_create, (CONST char *filename, bfd *template));
410 Return the number of bytes in the obstacks connected to the supplied
413 PROTO(bfd_size_type,bfd_alloc_size,(bfd *abfd));
422 These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in sections;
423 each access (except for bytes) is vectored through the target format
424 of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The mangling performs any
425 necessary endian translations and removes alignment restrictions.

555 in a constructor list, it creates a new section for the type of name

557 relocation. To build the lists of constructors, all the linker has to
