FUNCTION
	bfd_put_size
FUNCTION
	bfd_get_size

DESCRIPTION
	These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in
	sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through
	the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The
	mangling performs any necessary endian translations and
	removes alignment restrictions.  Note that types accepted and
	returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped
	around in macros---for example, @file{libaout.h} defines <<GET_WORD>>
	to either <<bfd_get_32>> or <<bfd_get_64>>.

	In the put routines, @var{val} must be a <<bfd_vma>>.  If we are on a
	system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making
	sure that is true, with a cast if necessary.  We don't cast
	them in the macro definitions because that would prevent <<lint>>
	or <<gcc -Wall>> from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.
	To detect calling these with less than a <<bfd_vma>>, use
	<<gcc -Wconversion>> on a host with 64 bit <<bfd_vma>>'s.
