.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In kvm.h
|
|
.In nlist.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist "kvm_t *kd" "struct 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 n_name field is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr nlist 3 ) .
|
|
Each symbol is looked up using the n_name field, and if found, the
|
|
corresponding n_type and 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 the symbol.
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
function returns the number of invalid entries found.
|
|
If the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
