      NAME
           nlist - get entries from name list

      SYNTAX
           #include <nlist.h>

           nlist(filename, nl)
           char *filename;
           struct nlist nl[];

      DESCRIPTION
           Nlist examines the name list in the given executable output
           file and selectively extracts a list of values.  The name
           list consists of an array of structures containing names,
           types and values.  The list is terminated with a null name.
           Each name is looked up in the name list of the file.  If the
           name is found, the type and value of the name are inserted
           in the next two fields.  If the name is not found, both
           entries are set to 0.  See a.out(4) for the structure
           declaration.

      DIAGNOSTICS
           All type entries are set to 0 if the file cannot be found or
           if it is not a valid namelist.
