-@strong{Description}@*
-An archive (or library) is just another BFD.  It has a symbol
-table, although there's not much a user program will do with it.
-
-The big difference between an archive BFD and an ordinary BFD
-is that the archive doesn't have sections.  Instead it has a
-chain of BFDs that are considered its contents.  These BFDs can
-be manipulated like any other.  The BFDs contained in an
-archive opened for reading will all be opened for reading.  You
-may put either input or output BFDs into an archive opened for
-output; they will be handled correctly when the archive is closed.
-
-Use @code{bfd_openr_next_archived_file} to step through
-the contents of an archive opened for input.  You don't
-have to read the entire archive if you don't want
-to!  Read it until you find what you want.
-
-Archive contents of output BFDs are chained through the
-@code{next} pointer in a BFD.  The first one is findable through
-the @code{archive_head} slot of the archive.  Set it with
-@code{bfd_set_archive_head} (q.v.).  A given BFD may be in only one
-open output archive at a time.
-
-As expected, the BFD archive code is more general than the
-archive code of any given environment.  BFD archives may
-contain files of different formats (e.g., a.out and coff) and
-even different architectures.  You may even place archives
-recursively into archives!
-
-This can cause unexpected confusion, since some archive
-formats are more expressive than others.  For instance, Intel
-COFF archives can preserve long filenames; SunOS a.out archives
-cannot.  If you move a file from the first to the second
-format and back again, the filename may be truncated.
-Likewise, different a.out environments have different
-conventions as to how they truncate filenames, whether they
-preserve directory names in filenames, etc.  When
-interoperating with native tools, be sure your files are
-homogeneous.
-
-Beware: most of these formats do not react well to the
-presence of spaces in filenames.  We do the best we can, but
-can't always handle this case due to restrictions in the format of
-archives.  Many Unix utilities are braindead in regards to
-spaces and such in filenames anyway, so this shouldn't be much
-of a restriction.
-
-Archives are supported in BFD in @code{archive.c}.

-@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_next_mapent}
-@strong{Synopsis}
-@example
-symindex bfd_get_next_mapent
-   (bfd *abfd, symindex previous, carsym **sym);
-@end example
-@strong{Description}@*
-Step through archive @var{abfd}'s symbol table (if it
-has one).  Successively update @var{sym} with the next symbol's
-information, returning that symbol's (internal) index into the
-symbol table.
-
-Supply @code{BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS} as the @var{previous} entry to get
-the first one; returns @code{BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS} when you've already
-got the last one.
-
-A @code{carsym} is a canonical archive symbol.  The only
-user-visible element is its name, a null-terminated string.

-@findex bfd_set_archive_head

-@strong{Synopsis}
-@example
-bfd_boolean bfd_set_archive_head (bfd *output, bfd *new_head);
-@end example
-@strong{Description}@*
-Set the head of the chain of
-BFDs contained in the archive @var{output} to @var{new_head}.

-@findex bfd_openr_next_archived_file
-@subsubsection @code{bfd_openr_next_archived_file}
-@strong{Synopsis}
-@example
-bfd *bfd_openr_next_archived_file (bfd *archive, bfd *previous);
-@end example
-@strong{Description}@*
-Provided a BFD, @var{archive}, containing an archive and NULL, open
-an input BFD on the first contained element and returns that.
-Subsequent calls should pass
-the archive and the previous return value to return a created
-BFD to the next contained element. NULL is returned when there
-are no more.
