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. */ #include "bfd.h" #include "sysdep.h" #include "libbfd.h" /* IMPORT from targets.c. */ extern CONST size_t _bfd_target_vector_entries; /* 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>> - 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. */ boolean bfd_check_format (abfd, format) bfd *abfd; bfd_format format; { return bfd_check_format_matches (abfd, format, NULL); } /* FUNCTION bfd_check_format_matches SYNOPSIS boolean bfd_check_format_matches(bfd *abfd, bfd_format format, char ***matching); DESCRIPTION Like <<bfd_check_format>>, except when it returns false with <<bfd_errno>> set to <<file_ambiguously_recognized>>.
