41 .Nd retrieve symbol table names from a kernel image
48 .Fn kvm_nlist "kvm_t *kd" "struct nlist *nl"
51 retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list argument
53 This argument points to an array of nlist structures, terminated by
54 an entry whose n_name field is
58 Each symbol is looked up using the n_name field, and if found, the
59 corresponding n_type and n_value fields are filled in.
60 These fields are set to 0 if the symbol is not found.
64 was created by a call to
68 executable image name,
72 to retrieve the kernel symbol table.
76 function returns the number of invalid entries found.
77 If the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
