<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.1 <code>bfd_fopen</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_fopen (const char *filename, const char *target,
const char *mode, int fd);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Open the file <var>filename</var> with the target <var>target</var>.
Return a pointer to the created BFD. If <var>fd</var> is not -1,
then <code>fdopen</code> is used to open the file; otherwise, <code>fopen</code>
is used. <var>mode</var> is passed directly to <code>fopen</code> or
<code>fdopen</code>.
<p>Calls <code>bfd_find_target</code>, so <var>target</var> is interpreted as by
that function.
<p>The new BFD is marked as cacheable iff <var>fd</var> is -1.
<p>If <code>NULL</code> is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors
are <code>bfd_error_no_memory</code>, <code>bfd_error_invalid_target</code> or
<code>system_call</code> error.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fopenr-1338"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.2 <code>bfd_openr</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_openr (const char *filename, const char *target);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Open the file <var>filename</var> (using <code>fopen</code>) with the target
<var>target</var>. Return a pointer to the created BFD.
<p>Calls <code>bfd_find_target</code>, so <var>target</var> is interpreted as by
that function.
<p>If <code>NULL</code> is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors
are <code>bfd_error_no_memory</code>, <code>bfd_error_invalid_target</code> or
<code>system_call</code> error.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005ffdopenr-1339"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.3 <code>bfd_fdopenr</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_fdopenr (const char *filename, const char *target, int fd);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>bfd_fdopenr</code> is to <code>bfd_fopenr</code> much like <code>fdopen</code> is to
<code>fopen</code>. It opens a BFD on a file already described by the
<var>fd</var> supplied.
<p>When the file is later <code>bfd_close</code>d, the file descriptor will
be closed. If the caller desires that this file descriptor be
cached by BFD (opened as needed, closed as needed to free
descriptors for other opens), with the supplied <var>fd</var> used as
an initial file descriptor (but subject to closure at any time),
call bfd_set_cacheable(bfd, 1) on the returned BFD. The default
is to assume no caching; the file descriptor will remain open
until <code>bfd_close</code>, and will not be affected by BFD operations
on other files.
<p>Possible errors are <code>bfd_error_no_memory</code>,
<code>bfd_error_invalid_target</code> and <code>bfd_error_system_call</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fopenstreamr-1340"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.4 <code>bfd_openstreamr</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_openstreamr (const char *, const char *, void *);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Open a BFD for read access on an existing stdio stream. When
the BFD is passed to <code>bfd_close</code>, the stream will be closed.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fopenr_005fiovec-1341"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.5 <code>bfd_openr_iovec</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_openr_iovec (const char *filename, const char *target,
void *(*open) (struct bfd *nbfd,
void *open_closure),
void *open_closure,
file_ptr (*pread) (struct bfd *nbfd,
void *stream,
void *buf,
file_ptr nbytes,
file_ptr offset),
int (*close) (struct bfd *nbfd,
void *stream),
int (*stat) (struct bfd *abfd,
void *stream,
struct stat *sb));
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Create and return a BFD backed by a read-only <var>stream</var>.
The <var>stream</var> is created using <var>open</var>, accessed using
<var>pread</var> and destroyed using <var>close</var>.
<p>Calls <code>bfd_find_target</code>, so <var>target</var> is interpreted as by
that function.
<p>Calls <var>open</var> (which can call <code>bfd_zalloc</code> and
<code>bfd_get_filename</code>) to obtain the read-only stream backing
the BFD. <var>open</var> either succeeds returning the
non-<code>NULL</code> <var>stream</var>, or fails returning <code>NULL</code>
(setting <code>bfd_error</code>).
<p>Calls <var>pread</var> to request <var>nbytes</var> of data from
<var>stream</var> starting at <var>offset</var> (e.g., via a call to
<code>bfd_read</code>). <var>pread</var> either succeeds returning the
number of bytes read (which can be less than <var>nbytes</var> when
end-of-file), or fails returning -1 (setting <code>bfd_error</code>).
<p>Calls <var>close</var> when the BFD is later closed using
<code>bfd_close</code>. <var>close</var> either succeeds returning 0, or
fails returning -1 (setting <code>bfd_error</code>).
<p>Calls <var>stat</var> to fill in a stat structure for bfd_stat,
bfd_get_size, and bfd_get_mtime calls. <var>stat</var> returns 0
on success, or returns -1 on failure (setting <code>bfd_error</code>).
<p>If <code>bfd_openr_iovec</code> returns <code>NULL</code> then an error has
occurred. Possible errors are <code>bfd_error_no_memory</code>,
<code>bfd_error_invalid_target</code> and <code>bfd_error_system_call</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fopenw-1342"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.6 <code>bfd_openw</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_openw (const char *filename, const char *target);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Create a BFD, associated with file <var>filename</var>, using the
file format <var>target</var>, and return a pointer to it.
<p>Possible errors are <code>bfd_error_system_call</code>, <code>bfd_error_no_memory</code>,
<code>bfd_error_invalid_target</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fclose-1343"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.7 <code>bfd_close</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd_boolean bfd_close (bfd *abfd);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending
operations are completed and the file written out and closed.
If the created file is executable, then <code>chmod</code> is called
to mark it as such.
<p>All memory attached to the BFD is released.
<p>The file descriptor associated with the BFD is closed (even
if it was passed in to BFD by <code>bfd_fdopenr</code>).
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>TRUE</code> is returned if all is ok, otherwise <code>FALSE</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fclose_005fall_005fdone-1344"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.8 <code>bfd_close_all_done</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd_boolean bfd_close_all_done (bfd *);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Close a BFD. Differs from <code>bfd_close</code> since it does not
complete any pending operations. This routine would be used
if the application had just used BFD for swapping and didn't
want to use any of the writing code.
<p>If the created file is executable, then <code>chmod</code> is called
to mark it as such.
<p>All memory attached to the BFD is released.
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>TRUE</code> is returned if all is ok, otherwise <code>FALSE</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fcreate-1345"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.9 <code>bfd_create</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd *bfd_create (const char *filename, bfd *templ);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Create a new BFD in the manner of <code>bfd_openw</code>, but without
opening a file. The new BFD takes the target from the target
used by <var>template</var>. The format is always set to <code>bfd_object</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fmake_005fwritable-1346"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.10 <code>bfd_make_writable</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd_boolean bfd_make_writable (bfd *abfd);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Takes a BFD as created by <code>bfd_create</code> and converts it
into one like as returned by <code>bfd_openw</code>. It does this
by converting the BFD to BFD_IN_MEMORY. It's assumed that
you will call <code>bfd_make_readable</code> on this bfd later.
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>TRUE</code> is returned if all is ok, otherwise <code>FALSE</code>.
<p><a name="index-bfd_005fmake_005freadable-1347"></a>
<h5 class="subsubsection">2.14.1.11 <code>bfd_make_readable</code></h5>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> bfd_boolean bfd_make_readable (bfd *abfd);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Takes a BFD as created by <code>bfd_create</code> and
<code>bfd_make_writable</code> and converts it into one like as
returned by <code>bfd_openr</code>. It does this by writing the
contents out to the memory buffer, then reversing the
direction.
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>TRUE</code> is returned if all is ok, otherwise <code>FALSE</code>.
