- @section File Formats
- A format is a @code{bfd} concept of high level file contents. The
- formats supported by @code{bfd} are:
- @table @code
- @item bfd_object
- The bfd may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
- @item bfd_archive
- The bfd contains other bfds and an optional index.
- @item bfd_core
- The bfd contains the result of an executable core dump.

- /*proto*
- *i bfd_check_format
- This routine is supplied a bfd and a format. It attempts to verify if
- the file attatched to the bfd is indeed compatible with the format
- specified (ie, one of @code{bfd_object}, @code{bfd_archive} or
- @code{bfd_core}).
-
- If the bfd has been set to a specific @var{target} before the call,
- only the named target and format combination will be checked. If the
- target has not been set, or has been set to @code{default} then all
- the known target backends will be interrogated to determine a match.
-
- The function returns @code{true} on success, otherwise @code{false}
- with one of the following error codes:
- @table @code
- @item
- invalid_operation
- if @code{format} is not one of @code{bfd_object}, @code{bfd_archive}
- or @code{bfd_core}.
- @item system_call_error
- if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches can
- cause system_call_errros
- @item file_not_recognised
- none of the backends recognised the file format
- @item file_ambiguously_recognized
- more than one backend recognised the file format.
