NAME
     cvt - table of kernel symbols

DESCRIPTION
     Cvt is a special file in kernel memory containing a table of
     names and values of kernel symbols.  The table is accessed
     using the knlist(3c) subroutine and provides a fast way to
     obtain current values for kernel symbols.

     The table format consists of a magic number identifying the
     table (0401), a value giving the size of the table, and a
     value and name field for each symbol included in the table.
     The magic number, the size and the symbol values are of type
     ``long''; names are null-padded strings aligned on four-byte
     boundaries.  The table is terminated with a null name (four
     bytes of 0's where a name field would normally be).

     The table is built from a description file containing a list
     of kernel symbols to be included.
