-@strong{Description}@* |
-Each port of BFD to a different machine requires 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 @code{bfd_openr}, its format and |
-target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine |
-how to interpret the file. The operations performed are: |
- |
-@itemize @bullet |
- |
-@item |
-Create a BFD by calling the internal routine |
-@code{_bfd_new_bfd}, then call @code{bfd_find_target} with the |
-target string supplied to @code{bfd_openr} and the new BFD pointer. |
- |
-@item |
-If a null target string was provided to @code{bfd_find_target}, |
-look up the environment variable @code{GNUTARGET} and use |
-that as the target string. |
- |
-@item |
-If the target string is still @code{NULL}, or the target string is |
-@code{default}, then use the first item in the target vector |
-as the target type, and set @code{target_defaulted} in the BFD to |
-cause @code{bfd_check_format} to loop through all the targets. |
-@xref{bfd_target}. @xref{Formats}. |
- |
-@item |
-Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector |
-one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found, |
-use it. |
- |
-@item |
-Otherwise return the error @code{bfd_error_invalid_target} to |
-@code{bfd_openr}. |
- |
-@item |
-@code{bfd_openr} attempts to open the file using |
-@code{bfd_open_file}, and returns the BFD. |
-@end itemize |
-Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file |
-format may be determined. This is done by calling |
-@code{bfd_check_format} on the BFD with a suggested format. |
-If @code{target_defaulted} has been set, each possible target |
-type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format. |
-@code{bfd_check_format} returns @code{TRUE} when the caller guesses right. |

- |
-@strong{Description}@* |
-This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a |
-target. It includes things like its byte order, name, and which |
-routines to call to do various operations. |
- |
-Every BFD points to a target structure with its @code{xvec} |
-member. |
- |
-The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the |
-@code{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 @var{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. |
-@example |
-#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \ |
- ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) |
- |
-#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND |
-#undef BFD_SEND |
-#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \ |
- (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \ |
- ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) : \ |
- (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL)) |
-#endif |
-@end example |
-For operations which index on the BFD format: |
-@example |
-#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \ |
- (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist) |
- |
-#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND |
-#undef BFD_SEND_FMT |
-#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \ |
- (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \ |
- (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist) : \ |
- (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL)) |
-#endif |
- |
-@end example |
-This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is. The |
-@code{xvec} member of the struct @code{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! |

-the target list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be |
-set in the BFD if @var{abfd} isn't @code{NULL}. This causes |
-@code{bfd_check_format} to loop over all the targets to find the |
-one that matches the file being read. |

-@end example |
-@strong{Description}@* |
-Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target |

-choose the one in the environment variable @code{GNUTARGET}; if |
-that is null or not defined, then choose the first entry in the |

-@code{bfd_check_format} to loop over all the targets to find the |
-one that matches the file being read. |
-If @var{is_bigendian} is not @code{NULL}, then set this value to target's |
-endian mode. True for big-endian, FALSE for little-endian or for |
-invalid target. |
-If @var{underscoring} is not @code{NULL}, then set this value to target's |
-underscoring mode. Zero for none-underscoring, -1 for invalid target, |

-If @var{def_target_arch} is not @code{NULL}, then set it to the architecture |

-Return a pointer to the first transfer vector in the list of |
