NAME
     libkvm - Kernel Virtual Memory access library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lkvm [library ... ]

     #include <kvm.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Functions in this library provide application access to ker-
     nel  symbols,  addresses and values. The individual routines
     are documented in Section 3K of the reference manuals.

     All of the libkvm routines are UNCOMMITTED. The  UNCOMMITTED
     classification is due to the fact that there is almost noth-
     ing which can be put as a symbol in  a  namelist  which  has
     release-to-release  stability.  The syntax of these routines
     is historically stable release-to-release, but being  UNCOM-
     MITTED, the door is always open for change.

     The shared object libkvm.so.1 provides the public interfaces
     defined below.

     For additional information on shared object interfaces,  see
     intro(3).
