     The nnlliisstt() function retrieves name list entries from the symbol table of
     an exectutable file. (See a.out(5).)  The argument _n_l is set to reference
     the beginning of the list.  The list is preened of binary and invalid da-
     ta; if an entry in the name list is valid, the _n___t_y_p_e and _n___v_a_l_u_e for the
     entry are copied into the list referenced by _n_l. No other data is copied.
     The last entry in the list is always NULL.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
     The number of invalid entries is returned if successful; otherwise, if
     the file _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e does not exist or is not exectuable, the returned value
     is -1.
