+ Error reporting
+
+ Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
+ individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
+ they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
+ can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
+ If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
+ <<errno>>.
-/** Error handling
- o - Most functions return nonzero on success (check doc for
- precise semantics); 0 or NULL on error.
- o - Internal errors are documented by the value of bfd_error.
- If that is system_call_error then check errno.
- o - The easiest way to report this to the user is to use bfd_perror.
+ The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
+ use <<bfd_perror>>.

+ Type <<bfd_error_type>>
