29 DESCRIPTION
30 Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation
31 of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
32 part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
33 which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
34 translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
35 calls to the back end routines.
36
37 When a file is opened with <<bfd_openr>>, its format and
38 target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
39 how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:
40
41 o First a BFD is created by calling the internal routine
42 <<new_bfd>>, then <<bfd_find_target>> is called with the
43 target string supplied to <<bfd_openr>> and the new BFD pointer.
44
45 o If a null target string was provided to <<bfd_find_target>>,
46 it looks up the environment variable <<GNUTARGET>> and uses
47 that as the target string.
48
49 o If the target string is still NULL, or the target string is
50 <<default>>, then the first item in the target vector is used
51 as the target type, and <<target_defaulted>> is set to
52 cause <<bfd_check_format>> to loop through all the targets.
53 @xref{bfd_target}. @xref{Formats}.
54
55 o Otherwise, the elements in the target vector are inspected
56 one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
57 that is used.
58
59 o Otherwise the error <<invalid_target>> is returned to
60 <<bfd_openr>>.
61
62 o <<bfd_openr>> attempts to open the file using
63 <<bfd_open_file>>, and returns the BFD.
64
65 Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
66 format may be determined. This is done by calling
67 <<bfd_check_format>> on the BFD with a suggested format.
68 If <<target_defaulted>> has been set, each possible target
69 type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format. The
70 routine returns <<true>> when the application guesses right.

85 DESCRIPTION
86 This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
87 target. It includes things like its byte order, name, what
88 routines to call to do various operations, etc.
89
90 Every BFD points to a target structure with its <<xvec>>
91 member.
92
93 These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the
94 bfd_target vector. They are used in a number of macros further
95 down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
96 routines by hand inside the BFD implementation. The "arglist"
97 argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
98 to the called function.
99
100 They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
101 someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
102
103 .#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
104 . ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
105
106 For operations which index on the BFD format
107
108 .#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
109 . (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
110
111 This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is. The
112 <<xvec>> member of the struct <<bfd>> itself points here. Each
113 module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
114 defines one of these.
115
116
117 FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
118 the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
119 macro to define them both!

502 FUNCTION
503 bfd_find_target
504
505 DESCRIPTION
506 Returns a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target
507 named target_name. If target_name is NULL, chooses the one in
508 the environment variable GNUTARGET; if that is null or not
509 defined thenthe first entry in the target list is chosen.
510 Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment
511 variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target
512 list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the
513 BFD. This causes <<bfd_check_format>> to loop over all the
514 targets to find the one that matches the file being read.
