Kernel VM Library Functions                       kvmnlist(3KVM)



NAME
     kvmnlist - get entries from kernel symbol table

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

     int kvmnlist(kvmt *kd, struct nlist *nl);


DESCRIPTION
     The kvmnlist() function examines the symbol table from  the
     kernel  image  identified  by  kd  (see  kvmopen(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 contain-
     ing  names, types and values.  The nname 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 nname 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  nvalue and ntype fields. If a symbol
     cannot be located, the corresponding ntype field of  nl  is
     set to 0.

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