KVM_GETFILES(3) BSD Library Functions Manual KVM_GETFILES(3)NAMEkvm_getfiles — survey open files
LIBRARY
Kernel Data Access Library (libkvm, -lkvm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <kvm.h>
char *
kvm_getfiles(kvm_t *kd, int op, int arg, int *cnt);
DESCRIPTIONkvm_getfiles() returns a (sub-)set of the open files in the kernel indi‐
cated by kd. The op and arg arguments constitute a predicate which lim‐
its the set of files returned. No predicates are currently defined.
The number of files found is returned in the reference parameter cnt.
The files are returned as a contiguous array of file structures, preceded
by the address of the first file entry in the kernel. This memory is
owned by kvm and is not guaranteed to be persistent across subsequent kvm
library calls. Data should be copied out if it needs to be saved.
RETURN VALUESkvm_getfiles() will return NULL on failure.
