+.SH NAME
+copylist \- copy a file into memory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP

+cc [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lgen\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
+#include <libgen.h>
+
+\fBchar *\fR\fBcopylist\fR(\fBconst char *\fR\fIfilenm\fR, \fBoff_t *\fR\fIszptr\fR);
+.fi
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBcopylist()\fR function copies a list of items from a file into freshly
+allocated memory, replacing new-lines with null characters. It expects two
+arguments: a pointer \fIfilenm\fR to the name of the file to be copied, and a
+pointer \fIszptr\fR to a variable where the size of the file will be stored.
+.sp
+.LP
+Upon success, \fBcopylist()\fR returns a pointer to the memory allocated.
+Otherwise it returns NULL if it has trouble finding the file, calling
+\fBmalloc()\fR, or reading the file.
+.SH USAGE
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBcopylist()\fR function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file
+offsets. See \fBlf64\fR(5).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+\fBExample 1 \fRExample of \fBcopylist()\fR function.
