Elftc_Bfd_Target *
elftc_bfd_find_target(const char *target_name);

DESCRIPTION

Function elftc_bfd_find_target() locates a binary object descriptor corresponding to the descriptor name in argument target_name. Binary object descriptors encapsulate properties of an object format such as its file representation, ELF class, and byte endianness.

Known descriptor names and their properties include:

Function elftc_bfd_target_byteorder() returns the ELF byte order associated with target descriptor target.

Function elftc_bfd_target_class() returns the ELF class associated with target descriptor target.

Function elftc_bfd_target_flavor() returns the object format associated with target descriptor target. The known object formats are:
ETF_ELF An ELF object.
ETF_BINARY Raw binary.
ETF_IHEX An object encoded in Intel hex format.
ETF_NONE An unknown object format.
ETF_SREC An object encoded as S-records.

RETURN VALUES

Function elftc_bfd_find_target() returns a valid pointer to an opaque binary target descriptor if successful, or NULL in case of an error.

Function elftc_bfd_target_byteorder() returns the ELF byte order associated with the target descriptor; one of ELFDATA2MSB or ELFDATA2LSB.

Function elftc_bfd_target_class() returns the ELF class associated with the target descriptor; one of ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64.

Function elftc_bfd_target_machine() returns the ELF architecture associated with the target descriptor.

Function elftc_bfd_target_flavor() returns one of ETF_BINARY, ETF_ELF, ETF_IHEX or ETF_SREC if successful or ETF_NONE in case of error.

EXAMPLES

To return descriptor information associated with target name "elf64-big" use:
struct Elftc_Bfd_Target *t;

if ((t = elftc_bfd_find_target("elf64-big")) == NULL)         errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot find target descriptor");

printf("Class: %s , elftc_bfd_target_class(t) == ELFCLASS32 ? "ELFCLASS32" : "ELFCLASS64"); printf("Byteorder: %s , elftc_bfd_target_byteorder(t) == ELFDATA2LSB ? "LSB" : "MSB"); printf("Flavor: %d , elftc_bfd_target_flavor(t));
