INTERNAL_DEFINITION
	struct bfd_iovec

DESCRIPTION

	The <<struct bfd_iovec>> contains the internal file I/O class.
	Each <<BFD>> has an instance of this class and all file I/O is
	routed through it (it is assumed that the instance implements
	all methods listed below).

.struct bfd_iovec
.{
.  {* To avoid problems with macros, a "b" rather than "f"
.     prefix is prepended to each method name.  *}
.  {* Attempt to read/write NBYTES on ABFD's IOSTREAM storing/fetching
.     bytes starting at PTR.  Return the number of bytes actually
.     transfered (a read past end-of-file returns less than NBYTES),
.     or -1 (setting <<bfd_error>>) if an error occurs.  *}
.  file_ptr (*bread) (struct bfd *abfd, void *ptr, file_ptr nbytes);
.  file_ptr (*bwrite) (struct bfd *abfd, const void *ptr,
.		       file_ptr nbytes);
.  {* Return the current IOSTREAM file offset, or -1 (setting <<bfd_error>>
.     if an error occurs.  *}
.  file_ptr (*btell) (struct bfd *abfd);
.  {* For the following, on successful completion a value of 0 is returned.
.     Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned (and <<bfd_error>> is set).  *}
.  int (*bseek) (struct bfd *abfd, file_ptr offset, int whence);
.  int (*bclose) (struct bfd *abfd);
.  int (*bflush) (struct bfd *abfd);
.  int (*bstat) (struct bfd *abfd, struct stat *sb);
.  {* Mmap a part of the files. ADDR, LEN, PROT, FLAGS and OFFSET are the usual
.     mmap parameter, except that LEN and OFFSET do not need to be page
.     aligned.  Returns (void *)-1 on failure, mmapped address on success.
.     Also write in MAP_ADDR the address of the page aligned buffer and in

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
	Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file

	The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
	so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
	that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
	It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
	it so that such results were guaranteed.

	Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
	object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
	As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
	use string tables for which the first <<sizeof (long)>> bytes of the
	table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
	If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
	string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
	some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
	for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
	error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
	exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
	of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
	This function at least allows us to answer the question, "is the
	size reasonable?".

	A return value of zero indicates the file size is unknown.

FUNCTION
	bfd_get_current_time

SYNOPSIS
	time_t bfd_get_current_time (time_t now);

DESCRIPTION
	Returns the current time.

	If the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined
	then this is parsed and its value is returned.  Otherwise
	if the paramter NOW is non-zero, then that is returned.
	Otherwise the result of the system call "time(NULL)" is
	returned.

     of the environment variable implies that the user wants
     deterministic behaviour we just accept the 0 value.  */
