Writing a new BFD backend?

Hi,

I hope this is at least remotelt on topic here.

I need to write a new BFD backend to support Atari TOS style programs
(simple file layout with text+data+bss, but with a special relocation table
format).

However, it seems to me that the documentation on the backend part of BFD is
not very helpful, and the existing sources are difficult to overlook, so I
don't quite know where to start.

I managed to create a jumptable for the new format, but then I am stuck -
what functions are actually needed, and what do they need to do?

Is there any hint where to start, or where to look for more information?
