SECTION
	<<typedef bfd>>

	A BFD has type <<bfd>>; objects of this type are the
	cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD
	consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.

	Here is the structure that defines the type <<bfd>>.  It
	contains the major data about the file and pointers
	to the rest of the data.

SECTION
	Error reporting

	Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
	individual documentation for precise semantics).  On an error,
	they call <<bfd_set_error>> to set an error condition that callers
	can check by calling <<bfd_get_error>>.
        If that returns <<bfd_error_system_call>>, then check
	<<errno>>.

	The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
	use <<bfd_perror>>.

SUBSECTION
	Type <<bfd_error_type>>

	The values returned by <<bfd_get_error>> are defined by the
	enumerated type <<bfd_error_type>>.
