How can I read kernel data through /dev/kmem in a user program?
The basic idea is to call nlist(S) with the table of kernel symbols you wish to examine. nlist will then fill in the addresses of those symbols. You can then open /dev/kmem, use the addresses to lseek(), then issue a read(). On systems that have mmap() available, this is a good use for it.
You can look at the sources of programs like u386mon for examples of
how to do this.
An OpenServer-specific extension is the tab(HW) driver. See that man
page and string(HW), and look in /dev/table and /dev/string to see how
it works. This only works for a small fixed subset of kernel data.
