Kernel VM Library Functions                       kvm_nlist(3KVM)

NAME
     kvm_nlist - get entries from kernel symbol table

SYNOPSIS
     #include <kvm.h>
     #include <nlist.h>

     int kvm_nlist(kvm_t *kd, struct nlist *nl);

DESCRIPTION
     kvm_nlist() examines the symbol table from the kernel  image
     identified   by  kd  (see  kvm_open(3KVM))  and  selectively
     extracts a list of values and puts  them  in  the  array  of
     nlist  structures pointed to by nl. The name list pointed to
     by nl consists of an array of structures  containing  names,
     types  and  values.  The n_name field of each such structure
     is taken to be a pointer to a character string  representing
     a  symbol  name.   The list is terminated by an entry with a
     NULL pointer (or a pointer to a null string) in the   n_name
     field.  For each entry in nl, if the named symbol is present
     in the kernel symbol table, its value and type are placed in
     the  n_value  and  n_type  fields.  If  a  symbol  cannot be
     located, the corresponding n_type field  of  nl  is  set  to
     zero.

RETURN VALUES
     kvm_nlist()   returns   the   value   of    nlist(3UCB)   or
     nlist(3ELF), depending on the library used.
