54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55.Fn kvm_getfiles
56returns a (sub-)set of the open files in the kernel indicated by
57.Fa kd .
58The
59.Fa op
60and
61.Fa arg
62arguments constitute a predicate which limits the set of files
63returned.
64No predicates are currently defined.
65.Pp
66The number of processes found is returned in the reference parameter
67.Fa cnt .
68The files are returned as a contiguous array of file structures,
69preceded by the address of the first file entry in the kernel.
70This memory is owned by kvm and is not guaranteed to be persistent across
71subsequent kvm library calls.
72Data should be copied out if it needs to be saved.
73.Sh RETURN VALUES
74.Fn kvm_getfiles
75will return
76.Dv NULL
77on failure.
