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