KVM_GETFILES(3)       DragonFly Library Functions Manual       KVM_GETFILES(3)


NAME

     kvm_getfiles -- survey open files


LIBRARY

     Kernel Data Access Library (libkvm, -lkvm)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <kvm.h>

     struct kinfo_file *
     kvm_getfiles(kvm_t *kd, int op, int arg, int *cnt);


DESCRIPTION

     kvm_getfiles() returns a (sub-)set of the open files in the kernel
     indicated by kd.  The op and arg arguments constitute a predicate which
     limits 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 kinfo_file structures.
     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 VALUES

     kvm_getfiles() will return NULL on failure.

BUGS

     This routine does not belong in the kvm interface.
