+.Dt KVM_NLIST 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm kvm_nlist
+.Nd retrieve symbol table names from a kernel image
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libkvm
+.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.
