KVM_VNODES(3)		    BSD Programmer's Manual		 KVM_VNODES(3)

NAME
     kvm_vnodes - return vnode table

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/sysctl.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>
     #include <kvm.h>
     #include <kvm_stat.h>

     struct e_vnode *
     kvm_vnodes(kvm_t *kd, int *avnodes);

DESCRIPTION
     The kvm_vnodes() returns the entire vnode table of the kernel indicated
     by kd. The returned data consists of an array whose size depends on the
     current number of such objects in the system.  Each element of the array
     consists of a struct e_vnode structure which contains:

     struct e_vnode {
	     struct vnode *avnode;
	     struct vnode vnode;
     };

     The avnode pointer contains the kernel address of this vnode structure
     the and vnode structure contains the actual vnode.	 The struct vnode and
     struct e_vnode structures are defined in /usr/include/sys/vnode.h. Memory
     for these structures is obtained via malloc(3) and may be released via
     free(3) if desired.

     Note, the vnode table is not necessarily a consistent snapshot of the
     system.

RETURN VALUES
     kvm_vnodes() will return NULL on failure.	Upon failure kvm_geterr(3) can
     be used to obtain a string describing the error.
