                     35: examines the name list in
                     36: the given executable output file
                     37: and selectively extracts a
                     38: list of values.
                     39: The name list consists of
                     40: a list of 8-character names (null padded)
                     41: each followed by two words.
                     42: The list is terminated with a null name.
                     43: Each name is looked up in the name list of
                     44: the file.
                     45: If the name is found, the type and value of the
                     46: name are placed in the two words following
                     47: the name.
                     48: If the name is not found, the type entry is set to \*-1.
                     49: .s3

                     51: examining the system name list kept in
                     52: the file
                     53: \fB/usr/sys/unix\fR.
                     54: In this way programs can obtain system addresses
                     55: that are up to date.
