@section Targets
Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation of a
target back end. All the back end provides to the root part of BFD is
a structure containing pointers to functions which perform certain low
level operations on files. BFD translates the applications's requests
through a pointer into calls to the back end routines.

When a file is opened with @code{bfd_openr}, its format and target are
unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine how to interpret the
file. The operations performed are:
@itemize @bullet
@item
First a BFD is created by calling the internal routine
@code{new_bfd}, then @code{bfd_find_target} is called with the target
string supplied to @code{bfd_openr} and the new BFD pointer. 
@item
If a null target string was provided to
@code{bfd_find_target}, it looks up the environment variable
@code{GNUTARGET} and uses that as the target string. 
@item
If the target string is still NULL, or the target string
is @code{default}, then the first item in the target vector is used as
the target type. @xref{bfd_target}.
@item
Otherwise, the elements in the target vector are
inspected one by one, until a match on target name is found. When
found, that is used.
@item 
Otherwise the error @code{invalid_target} is returned to
@code{bfd_openr}.
@item 
@code{bfd_openr} attempts to open the file using
@code{bfd_open_file}, and returns the BFD.
@end itemize
Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file format
may be determined. This is done by calling @code{bfd_check_format} on
the BFD with a suggested format. The routine returns @code{true} when
the application guesses right.

/*proto* bfd_target
@node bfd_target,  , Targets, Targets
@subsection bfd_target
This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target.
It includes things like its byte order, name, what routines to call
to do various operations, etc.   

Every BFD points to a target structure with its "xvec" member. 


Shortcut for declaring fields which are prototyped function pointers,
while avoiding anguish on compilers that don't support protos.

$#define SDEF(ret, name, arglist) \
$                PROTO(ret,(*name),arglist)
$#define SDEF_FMT(ret, name, arglist) \
$                PROTO(ret,(*name[bfd_type_end]),arglist)

These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the bfd_target
vector. They are used in a number of macros further down in @file{bfd.h}, and
are also used when calling various routines by hand inside the BFD
implementation.  The "arglist" argument must be parenthesized; it
contains all the arguments to the called function.

$#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
$               ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)

For operations which index on the BFD format 

$#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
$            (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)

This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is.  The
"xvec" member of the struct @code{bfd} itself points here.  Each module
that implements access to a different target under BFD, defines
one of these.

FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of the
entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one macro to
define them both!

$typedef struct bfd_target
${

identifies the kind of target, eg SunOS4, Ultrix, etc 

$  char *name;

The "flavour" of a back end is a general indication about the contents
of a file.

$  enum target_flavour {
$    bfd_target_unknown_flavour,
$    bfd_target_aout_flavour,
$    bfd_target_coff_flavour,
$    bfd_target_elf_flavour,
$    bfd_target_ieee_flavour,
$    bfd_target_oasys_flavour,
$    bfd_target_srec_flavour} flavour;

The order of bytes within the data area of a file.

$  boolean byteorder_big_p;

The order of bytes within the header parts of a file.

$  boolean header_byteorder_big_p;

This is a mask of all the flags which an executable may have set -
from the set @code{NO_FLAGS}, @code{HAS_RELOC}, ...@code{D_PAGED}.

$  flagword object_flags;       

This is a mask of all the flags which a section may have set - from
the set @code{SEC_NO_FLAGS}, @code{SEC_ALLOC}, ...@code{SET_NEVER_LOAD}.

$  flagword section_flags;

The pad character for filenames within an archive header.

$  char ar_pad_char;            

The maximum number of characters in an archive header.

$ unsigned short ar_max_namelen;

The minimum alignment restriction for any section.

$  unsigned int align_power_min;

Entries for byte swapping for data. These are different to the other
entry points, since they don't take BFD as first arg.  Certain other handlers
could do the same.

$  SDEF (bfd_vma,      bfd_getx64, (bfd_byte *));
$  SDEF (void,         bfd_putx64, (bfd_vma, bfd_byte *));

Byte swapping for the headers

$  SDEF (void,          bfd_h_putx16, (bfd_vma, bfd_byte *));

Format dependent routines, these turn into vectors of entry points
within the target vector structure; one for each format to check.

Check the format of a file being read.  Return bfd_target * or zero. 

$  SDEF_FMT (struct bfd_target *, _bfd_check_format, (bfd *));

Set the format of a file being written.  

$  SDEF_FMT (boolean,            _bfd_set_format, (bfd *));

Write cached information into a file being written, at bfd_close. 

$  SDEF_FMT (boolean,            _bfd_write_contents, (bfd *));

The following functions are defined in @code{JUMP_TABLE}. The idea is
that the back end writer of @code{foo} names all the routines
@code{foo_}@var{entry_point}, @code{JUMP_TABLE} will built the entries
in this structure in the right order.
