Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In kvm.h
|
|
.In nlist.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist "kvm_t *kd" "struct nlist *nl"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2 "kvm_t *kd" "struct kvm_nlist *nl"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
function retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list argument
|
|
.Fa \&nl .
|
|
This argument points to an array of nlist structures, terminated by
|
|
an entry whose
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr nlist 3 ) .
|
|
Each symbol is looked up using the
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field, and if found, the
|
|
corresponding
|
|
.Fa n_type
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n_value
|
|
fields are filled in.
|
|
These fields are set
|
|
to 0 if the symbol is not found.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr kldsym 2
|
|
system call is used to locate symbols in live kernels.
|
|
This is a less than perfect
|
|
emulation of the nlist values but has the advantage of being aware of kernel
|
|
modules and is reasonably fast.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2
|
|
function retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list argument
|
|
.Fa nl .
|
|
This argument points to an array of
|
|
.Vt "struct kvm_nlist"
|
|
structures,
|
|
terminated by an entry whose
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
These structures are similar to the nlist structures used by
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
except that the
|
|
.Fa n_value
|
|
field uses a different type
|
|
.Pq Vt kvaddr_t
|
|
to avoid truncation when examining non-native kernel images.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2
|
|
functions return the number of invalid entries found.
|
|
If the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
