NLIST(3)                   Library Functions Manual                   NLIST(3)



NAME
       nlist - get entries from name list

SYNOPSIS
       #include <a.out.h>
       nlist(filename, nl)
       char *filename;
       struct nlist nl[ ];

DESCRIPTION
       Nlist  examines  the  name list in the given executable output file and
       selectively extracts a list of values.  The name list  consists  of  an
       array  of  structures  containing names, types and values.  The list is
       terminated with a null name.  Each name is looked up in the  name  list
       of  the file.  If the name is found, the type and value of the name are
       inserted in the next two fields.  If the name is not  found,  both  en‐
       tries are set to 0.  See a.out(5) for the structure declaration.

       This  subroutine  is  useful for examining the system name list kept in
       the file /unix.  In this way programs can obtain system addresses  that
       are up to date.

SEE ALSO
       a.out(5)

DIAGNOSTICS
       All  type  entries are set to 0 if the file cannot be found or if it is
       not a valid namelist.
