I'll have v3 add KALLSYMS_F_PREFIX + pos/next_pos > pagination to cover these.

I'm busy rebasing my patches - they got stamped all over :-( I should get a v3 that applies by the end of the week. I will add a 'prefix' variant for you. The 'next symbol matches' flag is exactly that (actually it is a this symbol is a duplicate to avoid issues at the start of the array). So in this case that application would always need to read the next symbol (by name). I think it might be more sensible (less pitfalls later on) to return the symbol number - not that of the next one. David
