 | 
						|
entry point for each object file or archive which is to be
 | 
						|
linked (typically these are the files named on the command
 | 
						|
line, but some may also come from the linker script).  The
 | 
						|
entry point is responsible for examining the file.  For an
 | 
						|
object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to
 | 
						|
the hash table.  For an archive, BFD must determine which
 | 
						|
elements of the archive should be used and adding them to the
 | 
						|
link.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The a.out version of this entry point is

<code>NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)</code>.
