25/// @class ObjectFile ObjectFile.h "lldb/Symbol/ObjectFile.h"
26/// @brief A plug-in interface definition class for object file parsers.
27///
28/// Object files belong to Module objects and know how to extract
29/// information from executable, shared library, and object (.o) files
30/// used by operating system runtime. The symbol table and section list
31/// for an object file.
32///
33/// Object files can be represented by the entire file, or by part of a
34/// file. Examples of object files that are part of a file include
35/// object files that contain information for multiple architectures in
36/// the same file, or archive files that contain multiple objects
37/// (ranlib archives) (possibly for multiple architectures as well).
38///
39/// Object archive files (e.g. ranlib archives) can contain
40/// multiple .o (object) files that must be selected by index or by name.
41/// The number of objects that an ObjectFile contains can be determined
42/// using the ObjectFile::GetNumObjects() const
43/// function, and followed by a call to
44/// ObjectFile::SelectObjectAtIndex (uint32_t) to change the currently
45/// selected object. Objects can also be selected by name using the
46/// ObjectFile::SelectObject(const char *) function.
47///
48/// Once an architecture is selected (and an object is selected for
49/// for archives), the object file information can be extracted from
50/// this abstract class.
