+.Fd #include <sys/linker.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn kldsym "int fileid" "int command" "void *data"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn kldsym
+function returns the address of the symbol specified in
+.Fa data
+in the module specified by
+.Fa fileid .
+Currently, the only
+.Fa command

+.Dv KLDSYM_LOOKUP .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa data
+argument is of the following structure:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct kld_sym_lookup {
+ int version; /* sizeof(struct kld_sym_lookup) */
+ char *symname; /* Symbol name we are looking up */
+ u_long symvalue;
+ size_t symsize;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Va version
+member is to be set
+by the code calling
+.Fn kldsym
+to
+.Li sizeof(struct kld_sym_lookup) .
+The next two members,
+.Va version
+and
+.Va symname
+are specified by the user.
+The last two,
+.Va symvalue
+and
+.Va symsize
+are filled in by
+.Fn kldsym
+and contain the address associated with
+.Va symname
+and the size of the data it points to, respectively.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn kldsym
+function returns 0 on success
+and -1 on failure, and sets
+.Va errno
+to indicate the error.
