BFD provides a common interface to the parts of an object file
for a calling application.
-When an application sucessfully opens a target file (object, archive, or
+When an application successfully opens a target file (object, archive, or
whatever), a pointer to an internal structure is returned. This pointer
points to a structure called @code{bfd}, described in
@file{bfd.h}. Our convention is to call this pointer a BFD, and
return the number of sections in an object file attached to a BFD
@code{abfd}.

@c @cartouche
#include "bfd.h"
