+SECTION
+ File formats
+
+ A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. 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
+ Verify if the file attached to the BFD @var{abfd} is compatible
+ with the format @var{format} (i.e., one of <<bfd_object>>,
+ <<bfd_archive>> or <<bfd_core>>).
+
+ If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the
+ call, only the named target and format combination is
+ checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to
+ <<default>>, then all the known target backends is
+ 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 <<bfd_error_invalid_operation>> -
+ if <<format>> is not one of <<bfd_object>>, <<bfd_archive>> or
+ <<bfd_core>>.
+
+ o <<bfd_error_system_call>> -
+ if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches
+ can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
+
+ o <<file_not_recognised>> -
+ none of the backends recognised the file format.
+
+ o <<bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized>> -
+ more than one backend recognised the file format.
