Is there anyone on the net who could give me some clues about some
structures in the NS 2.0 kernel?

Specifically, I would like to know:

	o  What do I read with nlist(3) to get at the user structures?

	o  When I have read a vnode of type VCHR, what does the v_data
	   point at?  It appears to point 4 bytes in from of itself,
	   rather than at an inode.  Under SunOS it points at an snode,
	   but I can't find any header files in /usr/include that define
	   an snode.
