-@findex struct bfd_iovec
-@subsubsection @code{struct bfd_iovec}
-@strong{Description}@*
-The @code{struct bfd_iovec} contains the internal file I/O class.
-Each @code{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).
-@example
-struct bfd_iovec

-     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 @code{bfd_error}) if an error occurs.  */

-@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_mtime}
-@strong{Synopsis}
-@example
-long bfd_get_mtime (bfd *abfd);
-@end example
-@strong{Description}@*
-Return the file modification time (as read from the file system, or
-from the archive header for archive members).
-
-@findex bfd_get_size
-@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_size}
-@strong{Synopsis}
-@example
-long bfd_get_size (bfd *abfd);
-@end example
-@strong{Description}@*
-Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file
-associated with BFD @var{abfd}.
-
-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 @code{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?".
