+.Sh NAME

+.Nd get kernel displacement
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libkvm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In kvm.h
+.Ft kssize_t
+.Fn kvm_kerndisp "kvm_t *kd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn kvm_kerndisp
+returns the number of bytes by which the kernel referenced by
+.Fa kd
+is displaced.
+This is the difference between the kernel's base virtual address at run time
+and the kernel base virtual address specified in the kernel image file.
+.Pp
+Note that if the kernel is moved to a lower memory address,
+the displacement will be negative.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn kvm_kerndisp
+returns the number of bytes by which the kernel is displaced.
+If the kernel is not displaced or if it is not possible to find the
+displacement then 0 is returned.
