Hi,

I need some information about the kernel variables in 2.1.6. I found a
list of  them  in /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/symbols.raw, but I  need some
more  hints on how to  use them and  about the  valid  values they may
contain. Is  there a document which  describes all of them  ?  I had a
quick look at the 4.4BSD manuals and at  "Design and Implementation of
the 4.4BSD OS" but without any luck. 

Any hints are welcome.

	Christoph
