26
27 A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
28 cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
29 consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
30
31 Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>. It
32 contains the major data about the file and pointers
33 to the rest of the data.

233 Error reporting
234
235 Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
236 individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
237 they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
238 can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
239 If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
240 <<errno>>.
241
242 The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
243 use <<bfd_perror>>.

1420 When testing an object for compatibility with a particular

1422 up certain fields in the bfd on successfully recognizing the
1423 object. This typically happens in a piecemeal fashion, with
1424 failures possible at many points. On failure, the bfd is
1425 supposed to be restored to its initial state, which is
1426 virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
1427 state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
1428 reinitializes the bfd.

1497SYNOPSIS
1498 void bfd_preserve_finish (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);

1501 This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
1502 bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end
1503 object_p function returns with success.
