1993-11-05 20:51:52 +01:00
A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. 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
Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
<<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
call, only the named target and format combination is
checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
<<default>>, then all the known target backends is
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>> -
1993-11-05 20:51:52 +01:00
if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
<<bfd_core>>.
o <<system_call_error>> -
1993-11-05 20:51:52 +01:00
if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
can cause system_call_errors.
o <<file_not_recognised>> -
1993-11-05 20:51:52 +01:00
none of the backends recognised the file format.
o <<file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
1993-11-05 20:51:52 +01:00
more than one backend recognised the file format.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Like <<bfd_check_format>>, except when it returns false with

case, if @var{matching} is not NULL, it will be filled in with
a NULL-terminated list of the names of the formats that matched,
allocated with <<malloc>>.
Then the user may choose a format and try again.
When done with the list that @var{matching} points to, the caller
should free it.
