.Sh DESCRIPTION
Function
.Fn elftc_bfd_find_target
locates a binary object descriptor corresponding to the descriptor
name in argument
.Ar "target_name" .
Binary object descriptors encapsulate properties of an object format
such as its file representation, ELF class, and byte endianness.
.Pp
Known descriptor names and their properties include:
.Bl -column -offset "XXXX" ".Li elf32-x86-64-freebsd" "Object format" "Byte Order" "Bit Width"
