lsmod (8)





NAME

       lsmod - list loaded modules.


SYNOPSIS

       lsmod [-hV]


DESCRIPTION

       lsmod shows information about all loaded modules.

       The  format  is  name, size, use count, list of referring modules.  The
       information displayed is identical to that  available  from  /proc/mod-
       ules.

       If  the module controls its own unloading via a can_unload routine then
       the user count displayed by lsmod is always  -1,  irrespective  of  the
       real use count.
