SECTION
File Formats
A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents. The
formats supported by BFD are:
o bfd_object
The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
o bfd_archive
The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
o bfd_core
The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

FUNCTION
bfd_check_format
SYNOPSIS
boolean bfd_check_format(bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
DESCRIPTION
This routine is supplied a BFD and a format. It attempts to
verify if the file attached to the BFD is indeed compatible
with the format specified (ie, one of <<bfd_object>>,
<<bfd_archive>> or <<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
<<default>> then all the known target backends will be
interrogated to determine a match. If the default target
matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize
the file, or an error results.
The function returns <<true>> on success, otherwise <<false>>
with one of the following error codes:
o invalid_operation -
if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
<<bfd_core>>.
o system_call_error -
if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
can cause system_call_errors
o file_not_recognised -
none of the backends recognised the file format
o file_ambiguously_recognized -
more than one backend recognised the file format.
