     kkvvmm__nnlliisstt() retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list
     argument _n_l. 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, kkvvmm__nnlliisstt() uses it
     to speed lookups.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
     The kkvvmm__nnlliisstt() function returns the number of invalid entries found.  If
     the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
