SECTION 
	Targets

DESCRIPTION
	Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation
	of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
	part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
	which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
	translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
	calls to the back end routines. 

	When a file is opened with <<bfd_openr>>, its format and
	target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
	how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:

	o First a BFD is created by calling the internal routine
	<<new_bfd>>, then <<bfd_find_target>> is called with the
	target string supplied to <<bfd_openr>> and the new BFD pointer. 

	o If a null target string was provided to <<bfd_find_target>>,
	it looks up the environment variable <<GNUTARGET>> and uses
	that as the target string. 

	o If the target string is still NULL, or the target string is
	<<default>>, then the first item in the target vector is used
	as the target type, and <<target_defaulted>> is set to
	cause <<bfd_check_format>> to loop through all the targets.
	@xref{bfd_target}.  @xref{Formats}.

	o Otherwise, the elements in the target vector are inspected
	one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
	that is used. 

	o Otherwise the error <<invalid_target>> is returned to
	<<bfd_openr>>.

	o <<bfd_openr>> attempts to open the file using
	<<bfd_open_file>>, and returns the BFD.

	Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
	format may be determined. This is done by calling
	<<bfd_check_format>> on the BFD with a suggested format. 
	If <<target_defaulted>> has been set, each possible target
	type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format.  The
	routine returns <<true>> when the application guesses right.

SUBSECTION
	bfd_target

DESCRIPTION
	This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
	target. It includes things like its byte order, name, what
	routines to call to do various operations, etc.   

	Every BFD points to a target structure with its <<xvec>>
	member. 

	These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the
	bfd_target vector. They are used in a number of macros further
	down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
	routines by hand inside the BFD implementation.  The "arglist"
	argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
	to the called function. 

	They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
	someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.

.#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
.               ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)

	For operations which index on the BFD format 

.#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
.            (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)

	This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is.  The
	<<xvec>> member of the struct <<bfd>> itself points here.  Each
	module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
	defines one of these.


	FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
	the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
	macro to define them both! 

.typedef struct bfd_target
.{

Identifies the kind of target, eg SunOS4, Ultrix, etc.

.  char *name;

The "flavour" of a back end is a general indication about the contents
of a file.

.    bfd_target_hppa_flavour} flavour;

The order of bytes within the data area of a file.

.  boolean byteorder_big_p;

The order of bytes within the header parts of a file.

.  boolean header_byteorder_big_p;

This is a mask of all the flags which an executable may have set -
from the set <<NO_FLAGS>>, <<HAS_RELOC>>, ...<<D_PAGED>>.

.  flagword object_flags;       

This is a mask of all the flags which a section may have set - from
the set <<SEC_NO_FLAGS>>, <<SEC_ALLOC>>, ...<<SET_NEVER_LOAD>>.

.  flagword section_flags;

The character normally found at the front of a symbol 
(if any), perhaps _.

.  char symbol_leading_char;

The pad character for filenames within an archive header.

.  char ar_pad_char;            

The maximum number of characters in an archive header.

.  unsigned short ar_max_namelen;

The minimum alignment restriction for any section.

.  unsigned int align_power_min;

Entries for byte swapping for data. These are different to the other
entry points, since they don't take BFD as first arg.  Certain other handlers
could do the same.

Format dependent routines: these are vectors of entry points
within the target vector structure, one for each format to check.

Check the format of a file being read.  Return bfd_target * or zero. 

.  struct bfd_target * (*_bfd_check_format[bfd_type_end]) PARAMS ((bfd *));

The following functions are defined in <<JUMP_TABLE>>. The idea is
that the back end writer of <<foo>> names all the routines
<<foo_>>@var{entry_point}, <<JUMP_TABLE>> will built the entries
in this structure in the right order.

FUNCTION
	bfd_find_target

DESCRIPTION
	Returns a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target
	named target_name.  If target_name is NULL, chooses the one in
	the environment variable GNUTARGET; if that is null or not
	defined thenthe first entry in the target list is chosen.
	Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment
	variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target
	list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the
	BFD.  This causes <<bfd_check_format>> to loop over all the
	targets to find the one that matches the file being read.
