25	<<typedef bfd>>
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.

231	Error reporting
232
233	Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
234	individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,
235	they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
236	can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
237        If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
238	<<errno>>.

869	Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file

872	The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
873	so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
874	that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
875	It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify

877
878	Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
879	object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
880	As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
881	use string tables for which the first <<sizeof (long)>> bytes of the
882	table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
883	If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
884	string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
885	some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
886	for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
887	error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
888	exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
889	of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.

1322
1323	When more than one machine code number is available for the
1324	same machine type, this function can be used to switch between
1325	the preferred one (index == 0) and any others.  Currently,
1326	only ELF supports this feature, with up to two alternate
1327	machine codes.
