The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
<<cache.c>> maintains a least recently used list of
<<BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN>> files, and exports the name
- <<bfd_cache_lookup>> which runs around and makes sure that
+ <<bfd_cache_lookup>>, which runs around and makes sure that
the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
handle.
