Ok, here is a good question for any HPUX gurus out there.

I was looking for information on sockets, so I did an 'nm /hp-ux'
looking for the structures where relavent info is kept.  Upon perusal
of the file I saw this:
...
ac_hlt              |   1052480|extern|code   |$CODE$
actest              |   1052500|extern|code   |$CODE$
$bozoword           |   1421312|static|data   |$DATA$
iodc_write_buffer   |   1421376|extern|data   |$DATA$
dump_iodc_buffer    |   1052672|extern|entry  |$CODE$
...

1421376-1421312=64      (I checked for other variables in the area)

Obviously not a 'word' word, so its gotta be a text string.  I wrote a
quick program to print out the value contained by $bozoword:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <nlist.h>

int kmem;
off_t off;

struct nlist nl[] = {
  { "$bozoword" },
  ""
};

int
main()
{
  char bozoword[64];
  register int i;

  if ((kmem = open ("/dev/kmem", 0)) == -1)
    {
      perror ("/dev/kmem");
      exit (1);
    }
  if (nlist ("/hp-ux", nl) == -1)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "nlist() failed\n");
      exit (1);
    }
  
  off = nl[0].n_value;
  lseek(kmem, off, 0);
  read(kmem, &bozoword, sizeof(bozoword));
  for(i=0;i<64;i++)
    {
      printf("/dev/kmem->$bozoword[%d] = 0x%x\n",i,(int)bozoword[i]);
    }
}

What I got was all NULL's (actually 0x0).  What's up?  We called our
HP service Rep (about something else, not this) and mentioned it to
him.  He said write to it and see what happens.  :)  Anyone else out
there got any better ideas?
