24 	File formats
25 
26 	A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The
27 	formats supported by BFD are:
28 
29 	o <<bfd_object>>
30 
31 	The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
32 
33 	o <<bfd_archive>>
34 
35 	The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
36 
37 	o <<bfd_core>>
38 
39 	The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

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