     35      1.1  christos 
     36      1.1  christos 	The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.

     39      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.
