SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

17       The  kvm_nlist()  function  examines  the  symbol table from the kernel
18       image identified by kd (see kvm_open(3KVM)) and selectively extracts  a
19       list  of  values and puts them in the array of nlist structures pointed
20       to by nl. The name list pointed to by nl consists of an array of struc‐
21       tures  containing  names,  types  and values.  The n_name field of each
22       such structure is taken to be a pointer to a  character  string  repre‐
23       senting  a symbol name.  The list is terminated by an entry with a null
24       pointer (or a pointer to a null string) in the n_name field.  For  each
25       entry in nl, if the named symbol is present in the kernel symbol table,
26       its value and type are placed in the n_value and n_type  fields.  If  a
27       symbol  cannot  be located, the corresponding n_type field of nl is set
28       to 0.

RETURN VALUES

31       The  kvm_nlist()  functions  returns  the  value  of   nlist(3UCB)   or
32       nlist(3ELF), depending on the library used.

NOTES

53       Although the libkvm API is Stable, the symbol  names  and  data  values
54       that can be accessed through this set of interfaces are Private and are
55       subject to ongoing change.
