27 	A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
28 	cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
29 	consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.
30 
31 	Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>.  It
32 	contains the major data about the file and pointers
33 	to the rest of the data.
