5Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation
6of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
7part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
8which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
9translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
10calls to the back end routines.
11
12When a file is opened with @code{bfd_openr}, its format and
13target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
14how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:
15
16@itemize @bullet
17
18@item
19Create a BFD by calling the internal routine
20@code{_bfd_new_bfd}, then call @code{bfd_find_target} with the
21target string supplied to @code{bfd_openr} and the new BFD pointer.
22
23@item
24If a null target string was provided to @code{bfd_find_target},
25look up the environment variable @code{GNUTARGET} and use
26that as the target string.
27
28@item
29If the target string is still @code{NULL}, or the target string is
30@code{default}, then use the first item in the target vector
31as the target type, and set @code{target_defaulted} in the BFD to
32cause @code{bfd_check_format} to loop through all the targets.
33@xref{bfd_target}. @xref{Formats}.
34
35@item
36Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector
37one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
38use it.
39
40@item
41Otherwise return the error @code{bfd_error_invalid_target} to
42@code{bfd_openr}.
43
44@item
45@code{bfd_openr} attempts to open the file using
46@code{bfd_open_file}, and returns the BFD.
47@end itemize
48Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
49format may be determined. This is done by calling
50@code{bfd_check_format} on the BFD with a suggested format.
51If @code{target_defaulted} has been set, each possible target
52type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format.
53@code{bfd_check_format} returns @code{TRUE} when the caller guesses right.

63@strong{Description}@*
64This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
65target. It includes things like its byte order, name, and which
66routines to call to do various operations.
67
68Every BFD points to a target structure with its @code{xvec}
69member.
70
71The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the
72@code{bfd_target} vector. They are used in a number of macros further
73down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
74routines by hand inside the BFD implementation. The @var{arglist}
75argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
76to the called function.
77
78They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
79someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
80@example
81#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
82 ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
83
84#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
85#undef BFD_SEND
86#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
87 (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
88 ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) : \
89 (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
90#endif
91@end example
92For operations which index on the BFD format:
93@example
94#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
95 (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
96
97#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
98#undef BFD_SEND_FMT
99#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
100 (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
101 (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist) : \
102 (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
103#endif
104
105@end example
106This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is. The
107@code{xvec} member of the struct @code{bfd} itself points here. Each
108module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
109defines one of these.
110
111FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
112the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
113macro to define them both!

447A pointer to an alternative bfd_target in case the current one is not
448satisfactory. This can happen when the target cpu supports both big
449and little endian code, and target chosen by the linker has the wrong
450endianness. The function open_output() in ld/ldlang.c uses this field
451to find an alternative output format that is suitable.

469@end example
470@strong{Description}@*
471Set the default target vector to use when recognizing a BFD.
472This takes the name of the target, which may be a BFD target
473name or a configuration triplet.

477@strong{Synopsis}
478@example
479const bfd_target *bfd_find_target (const char *target_name, bfd *abfd);
480@end example
481@strong{Description}@*
482Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target
483named @var{target_name}. If @var{target_name} is @code{NULL}, choose the
484one in the environment variable @code{GNUTARGET}; if that is null or not
485defined, then choose the first entry in the target list.
486Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment
487variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target
488list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the
489BFD. This causes @code{bfd_check_format} to loop over all the
490targets to find the one that matches the file being read.

494@strong{Synopsis}
495@example
496const char ** bfd_target_list (void);
497@end example
498@strong{Description}@*
499Return a freshly malloced NULL-terminated
500vector of the names of all the valid BFD targets. Do not
501modify the names.

510@end example
511@strong{Description}@*
512Return a pointer to the first transfer vector in the list of
513transfer vectors maintained by BFD that produces a non-zero
514result when passed to the function @var{search_func}. The
515parameter @var{data} is passed, unexamined, to the search
516function.
