KLDSYM(2) FreeBSD System Calls Manual KLDSYM(2)
NAME
kldsym - look up address by symbol name in a KLD
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/linker.h>
int
kldsym(int fileid, int cmd, void *data);
DESCRIPTION
The kldsym() system call returns the address of the symbol specified in
data in the module specified by fileid. If fileid is 0, all loaded
modules are searched. Currently, the only cmd implemented is
KLDSYM_LOOKUP.
The data argument is of the following structure:
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;
};
The version member is to be set by the code calling kldsym() to
sizeof(struct kld_sym_lookup). The next two members, version and
symname, are specified by the user. The last two, symvalue and symsize,
are filled in by kldsym() and contain the address associated with symname
and the size of the data it points to, respectively.
RETURN VALUES
The kldsym() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The kldsym() system call will fail if:
[EINVAL] Invalid value in data->version or cmd.
[ENOENT] The fileid argument is invalid, or the specified
symbol could not be found.
