21/* bfd.h -- The only header file required by users of the bfd library
22
23This file is generated from various .c files, if you change it, your
24bits may be lost.
25
26All the prototypes and definitions following the comment "THE FOLLOWING
27IS EXTRACTED FROM THE SOURCE" are extracted from the source files for
28BFD. If you change it, someone oneday will extract it from the source
29again, and your changes will be lost. To save yourself from this bind,
30change the definitions in the source in the bfd directory. Type "make
31docs" and then "make headers" in that directory, and magically this file
32will change to reflect your changes.
33
34If you don't have the tools to perform the extraction, then you are
35safe from someone on your system trampling over your header files.
36You should still maintain the equivalence between the source and this
37file though; every change you make to the .c file should be reflected
38here. */
