-SECTION
- File formats
-
- A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. 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.

-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 <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
- if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
- <<bfd_core>>.
-
- o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
- if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
- can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
-
- o <<file_not_recognised>> -
- none of the backends recognised the file format.
-
- o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
- more than one backend recognised the file format.
