     char *file;
     struct nlist nl[ ];

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
     Level:    HP-UX/STANDARD

     Origin:   System III

     Remarks:  _N_l_i_s_t is implemented on the Series 200 only.

DESCRIPTION
     _N_l_i_s_t examines the name list in the given executable  output
     file  (_f_i_l_e) 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.  The structure _n_l_i_s_t is defined
     in the include file nlist.h.

     This subroutine is useful for examining the system name list
     kept  in  the  file /hp-ux.  In this way programs can obtain
     system addresses that are up to date.

SEE ALSO
     a.out(5).

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