     62  1.1  christos 	Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
     63  1.1  christos 	with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,

     65  1.1  christos 
     66  1.1  christos 	If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
     67  1.1  christos 	call, only the named target and format combination is
     68  1.1  christos 	checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
     69  1.1  christos 	<<default>>, then all the known target backends is
     70  1.1  christos 	interrogated to determine a match.  If the default target
     71  1.1  christos 	matches, it is used.  If not, exactly one target must recognize
     72  1.1  christos 	the file, or an error results.
     73  1.1  christos 
     74  1.1  christos 	The function returns <<TRUE>> on success, otherwise <<FALSE>>
     75  1.1  christos 	with one of the following error codes:
     76  1.1  christos 
     77  1.1  christos 	o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
     78  1.1  christos 	if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or

     80  1.1  christos 
     81  1.1  christos 	o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
     82  1.1  christos 	if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
     83  1.1  christos 	can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
     84  1.1  christos 
     85  1.1  christos 	o <<file_not_recognised>> -
     86  1.1  christos 	none of the backends recognised the file format.
     87  1.1  christos 
     88  1.1  christos 	o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
