26 	File formats
27 
28 	A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
29 	formats supported by BFD are:
30 
31 	o <<bfd_object>>
32 
33 	The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
34 
35 	o <<bfd_archive>>
36 
37 	The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
38 
39 	o <<bfd_core>>
40 
41 	The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

55 FUNCTION
56 	bfd_check_format
57 
58 SYNOPSIS
59 	bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
60 
61 DESCRIPTION
62 	Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
63 	with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
64 	<<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
65 
66 	If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
67 	call, only the named target and format combination is
68 	checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
69 	<<default>>, then all the known target backends is
70 	interrogated to determine a match.  If the default target
71 	matches, it is used.  If not, exactly one target must recognize
72 	the file, or an error results.
73 
74 	The function returns <<TRUE>> on success, otherwise <<FALSE>>
75 	with one of the following error codes:
76 
77 	o <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
78 	if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
79 	<<bfd_core>>.
80 
81 	o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
82 	if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
83 	can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
84 
85 	o <<file_not_recognised>> -
86 	none of the backends recognised the file format.
87 
88 	o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
89 	more than one backend recognised the file format.
