27 1.1 christos A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
28 1.1 christos formats supported by BFD are:
29 1.1 christos
30 1.1 christos o <<bfd_object>>
31 1.1 christos
32 1.1 christos The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
33 1.1 christos
34 1.1 christos o <<bfd_archive>>
35 1.1 christos
36 1.1 christos The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
37 1.1 christos
38 1.1 christos o <<bfd_core>>
39 1.1 christos
40 1.1 christos The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

58 1.1 christos bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
59 1.1 christos
60 1.1 christos DESCRIPTION
61 1.1 christos Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
62 1.1 christos with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
63 1.1 christos <<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
64 1.1 christos
65 1.1 christos If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
66 1.1 christos call, only the named target and format combination is
67 1.1 christos checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
68 1.1 christos <<default>>, then all the known target backends is
69 1.1 christos interrogated to determine a match. If the default target
70 1.1 christos matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize
71 1.1 christos the file, or an error results.
72 1.1 christos
73 1.1 christos The function returns <<TRUE>> on success, otherwise <<FALSE>>
74 1.1 christos with one of the following error codes:
75 1.1 christos
76 1.1 christos o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
77 1.1 christos if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
78 1.1 christos <<bfd_core>>.
79 1.1 christos
80 1.1 christos o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
81 1.1 christos if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
82 1.1 christos can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
83 1.1 christos
84 1.1 christos o <<file_not_recognised>> -
85 1.1 christos none of the backends recognised the file format.
86 1.1 christos
87 1.1 christos o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
88 1.1 christos more than one backend recognised the file format.
