The
nlist()
function
retrieves name list entries from the symbol table of an
executable file (see
a.out(5)).
The argument
amp;nl
is set to reference the
beginning of the list.
The list is preened of binary and invalid data;
if an entry in the
name list is valid, the
n_type
and
n_value
for the entry are copied into the list
referenced by
amp;nl.
No other data is copied.
The last entry in the list is always
NULL.
