+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.
