44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In sys/types.h
46.In kvm.h
47.Ft kinfo_file *
48.Fn kvm_getfiles "kvm_t *kd" "int op" "int arg" "int *cnt"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50.Fn kvm_getfiles
51returns a (sub-)set of the open files in the kernel indicated by
52.Fa kd .
53The
54.Fa op
55and
56.Fa arg
57arguments constitute a predicate which limits the set of files
58returned.  No predicates are currently defined.
59.Pp
60The number of files found is returned in the reference parameter
61.Fa cnt .
62The files are returned as a contiguous array of kinfo_file structures.
63This memory is owned by kvm and is not guaranteed to be persistent across
64subsequent kvm library calls.  Data should be copied out if it needs to be
65saved.
66.Sh RETURN VALUES
67.Fn kvm_getfiles
68will return NULL on failure.
