NAME
modstat —
get status of kernel module
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/param.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
int
modstat(int
modid, struct module_stat
*stat);
DESCRIPTION
Themodstat()
function writes the info for the kernel module referred to by
modid into stat.
struct module_stat {
int version; /* set to sizeof(module_stat) */
char name[MAXPATHLEN];
int refs;
int id;
modspecific_t data;
};
typedef union modspecific {
int intval;
u_int u_intval;
long longval;
u_long u_longval;
} modspecific_t;
- version
- This field is set to the size of the structure mentioned above by the code
calling
modstat(), and notmodstat() itself. - name
- The name of the module referred to by modid.
- refs
- The number of modules referenced by modid.
- id
- The id of the module specified in modid.
- data
- Module specific data.
RETURN VALUES
The modstat() function returns the
value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and
the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The information for the module referred to by modid is filled into the structure pointed to by stat unless:
- [
ENOENT] - The module was not found (probably not loaded).
- [
EINVAL] - The version specified in the version field of stat is not the proper version. You would need to rebuild world, the kernel, or your application, if this error occurs, given that you did properly fill in the version field.
- [
EFAULT] - There was a problem copying one, some, or all of the fields into
stat in the
copyout() function.
