+.Nm kvm
+.Nd kernel memory interface
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libkvm
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+library provides a uniform interface for accessing kernel virtual memory
+images, including live systems and crash dumps.
+Access to live systems is via
+.Pa /dev/mem
+while crash dumps can be examined via the core file generated by
+.Xr savecore 8 .
+The interface behaves identically in both cases.
+Memory can be read and written, kernel symbol addresses can be
+looked up efficiently, and information about user processes can
+be gathered.
+.Pp
+.Fn kvm_open
+is first called to obtain a descriptor for all subsequent calls.

+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+The kvm interface was first introduced in SunOS.
+A considerable number of programs have been developed that use this
+interface, making backward compatibility highly desirable.
+In most respects, the Sun kvm interface is consistent and clean.
+Accordingly, the generic portion of the interface (i.e.,
+.Fn kvm_open ,
+.Fn kvm_close ,
+.Fn kvm_read ,
+.Fn kvm_write ,
+and
+.Fn kvm_nlist )
+has been incorporated into the
+.Bx
+interface.
+Indeed, many kvm applications (i.e., debuggers and statistical monitors)
+use only this subset of the interface.
+.Pp
+The process interface was not kept.
+This is not a portability issue since any code that manipulates
+processes is inherently machine dependent.
+.Pp
+Finally, the Sun kvm error reporting semantics are poorly defined.
+The library can be configured either to print errors to stderr automatically,
+or to print no error messages at all.
+In the latter case, the nature of the error cannot be determined.
+To overcome this, the
+.Bx
+interface includes a routine,
+.Xr kvm_geterr 3 ,
+to return (not print out) the error message corresponding to the most
+recent error condition on the given descriptor.
