NAME
     kkvvmmnnlliisstt - retrieve symbol table names from a kernel image

SYNOPSIS
     ##iinncclluuddee <>
     ##iinncclluuddee <>

     int
     kkvvmmnnlliisstt(kvmt *kd, struct nlist *nl);

DESCRIPTION
     kkvvmmnnlliisstt() retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list
     argument nl.  This argument points to an array of nlist structures, ter-
     minated by an entry whose nname field is NULL (see nlist(3)).  Each sym-
     bol is looked up using the nname field, and if found, the corresponding
     ntype and nvalue fields are filled in.  These fields are set to 0 if
     the symbol is not found.

     The program kvmmkdb(8) builds a database from the running kernel's
     namelist.  If the database matches the opened kernel, kkvvmmnnlliisstt() uses it
     to speed lookups.

RETURN VALUES
     The kkvvmmnnlliisstt() function returns the number of invalid entries found.  If
     the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
