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. +@menu +* bfd_target:: +@end menu + +@node bfd_target, , Targets, Targets + +@subsection bfd_target + + +@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.
