MODSTAT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MODSTAT(8) NAME modstat - display status of loaded kernel modules SYNOPSIS modstat [-Aaek] [-n name | name] DESCRIPTION The modstat utility displays the status of any kernel modules present in the kernel. The options are as follows: -A Tells you whether or not modules can be autoloaded at the moment. This option does take into consideration the sysctl kern.module.autoload. -a Tells you whether or not modules can be autoloaded at the moment. This option does not take into consideration the sysctl kern.module.autoload. -e Tells you whether or not you may load a module at the moment. -k Display the kernel address of the module's text segment (disabled by default). -n name Display the status of only the module with this name. Please note that -n is optional. In addition to listing the currently loaded modules' name, the information reported by modstat includes: CLASS Module class, such as "vfs", "driver", "exec", "misc" or "secmodel". SOURCE Where the module was loaded from. "builtin" indicates that the module was built into the running kernel. "boot" indicates that the module was loaded during system bootstrap. "filesys" indicates that the module was loaded from the file system. SIZE Size of the module's text section, in bytes. FLAG The module flags: a Module is auto-loaded. f Requires the modload(8) flag -f (force) to be loaded. REFS Number of references held on the module. Disabled builtin modules will show a count of -1 here. ADDRESS The kernel address at which the module's text segment is loaded. Builtin modules will show 0 here. This field is only displayed if the -k option is specified. REQUIRES Additional modules that must be present. EXIT STATUS The modstat utility exits with a status of 0 on success and with a nonzero status if an error occurs. SEE ALSO module(7), sysctl(7), modload(8), modunload(8) HISTORY A modstat utility appeared in NetBSD 0.9. The modstat command was designed to be similar in functionality to the corresponding command in SunOS 4.1.3. modstat was switched to the module framework for NetBSD 5.0. AUTHORS The original NetBSD implementation was written by Terrence R. Lambert <[email protected]>. The switch to the module framework was by Andrew Doran <[email protected]>.
