     k\bkv\bvm\bm_\b_n\bnl\bli\bis\bst\bt() retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list
     argument _\bn_\bl. This argument points to an array of nlist structures, termi-
     nated by an entry whose n_name field is NULL (see 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.

     The program kvm_mkdb(8) builds a database from the running kernel's
     namelist.  If the database matches the opened kernel, k\bkv\bvm\bm_\b_n\bnl\bli\bis\bst\bt() uses it
     to speed lookups.

     The k\bkv\bvm\bm_\b_n\bnl\bli\bis\bst\bt() function returns the number of invalid entries found.  If
     the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
