+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm libprocstat
+library contains the API for runtime file and process information
+retrieval from the running kernel via the
+.Xr sysctl 3
+library backend, and for post-mortem analysis via the
+.Xr kvm 3
+library backend.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn procstat_open_kvm
+and
+.Fn procstat_open_sysctl
+functions use the
+.Xr kvm 3
+or
+.Xr sysctl 3
+library routines, respectively, to access kernel state information
+used to retrieve processes and files states.
+The
+.Fa nlistf
+argument is the executable image of the kernel being examined.
+If this argument is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the currently running kernel is assumed.
+The
+.Fa memf
+argument is the kernel memory device file.
+If this argument is
+.Dv NULL ,
+then
+.Pa /dev/mem
+is assumed.
+See
+.Xr kvm_open 3
+for more details.
+Both functions dynamically allocate and return a
+.Vt procstat
+structure pointer used in the rest of the
+.Nm libprocstat
+library routines until the corresponding
+.Fn procstat_close
+call that cleans up the resources allocated by the
+.Fn procstat_open_*
+functions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn procstat_getprocs
+function gets a pointer to the
+.Vt procstat
+structure from one of the
+.Fn procstat_open_*
+functions and returns a dynamically allocated (sub-)set of active processes
+in the kernel filled in to array of
+.Vt kinfo_proc
+structures.
+The
+.Fa what
+and
+.Fa arg
+arguments constitute a filtering predicate as described in the
+.Xr kvm_getprocs 3
+function.
+The number of processes found is returned in the reference parameter
+.Fa cnt .
+The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
+.Fn procstat_freeprocs
+function call.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn procstat_getfiles
+function gets a pointer to the
+.Vt procstat
+structure initialized with one of the
+.Fn procstat_open_*
+functions, a pointer to
+.Vt kinfo_proc
+structure from the array obtained from the
+.Fn kvm_getprocs
+function, and returns a dynamically allocated linked list of filled in
+.Vt filestat_list
+structures using the STAILQ macros defined in
+.Xr queue 3 .
+The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
+.Fn procstat_freefiles
+function call.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn procstat_get_pipe_info ,
+.Fn procstat_get_pts_info ,
+.Fn procstat_get_socket_info
+and
+.Fn procstat_get_vnode_info
+functions are used to retrive information about pipes, pseudo-terminals,
+sockets, and vnodes, respectively.
+Each of them have a similar interface API.
+The
+.Fa procstat
+argument is a pointer obtained from one of
+.Fn procstat_open_*
+functions.
+The
+.Ft filestat Fa fst
+argument is an element of STAILQ linked list as obtained from the
+.Fn procstat_getfiles
+function.
+The
+.Ft filestat
+structure contains a
+.Fa fs_type
+field that specifies a file type and a corresponding function to be
+called among the
+.Nm procstat_get_*_info
+function family.
+The actual object is returned in the 3rd reference parameter.
+The
+.Fa errbuf
+argument indicates an actual error message in case of failure.
