- SECTION
- File Formats
-
- A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents. The
- formats supported by BFD are:
-
- o bfd_object
-
- The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
-
- o bfd_archive
-
- The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
-
- o bfd_core
-
- The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

- FUNCTION
- bfd_check_format
-
- SYNOPSIS
- boolean bfd_check_format(bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This routine is supplied a BFD and a format. It attempts to
- verify if the file attached to the BFD is indeed compatible
- with the format specified (ie, one of <<bfd_object>>,
- <<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
-
- If the BFD has been set to a specific @var{target} before the
- call, only the named target and format combination will be
- checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
- <<default>> then all the known target backends will be
- interrogated to determine a match. If the default target
- matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize
- the file, or an error results.
-
- The function returns <<true>> on success, otherwise <<false>>
- with one of the following error codes:
-
- o invalid_operation -
- if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
- <<bfd_core>>.
-
- o system_call_error -
- if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
- can cause system_call_errors
-
- o file_not_recognised -
- none of the backends recognised the file format
-
- o file_ambiguously_recognized -
- more than one backend recognised the file format.
