MODINFO !!!MODINFO NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME modinfo - display information about a kernel module !!SYNOPSIS __modinfo__ [[ options ] __ !!DESCRIPTION The __modinfo__ utility examines the object file ''module_file'' associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean. __OPTIONS__ __-a__, __--author__ Display the module's author. __-d__, __--description__ Display the module's description. __-f__''format_string''__, --format__ ''format_string'' Let the user specify an arbitrary format string which can extract values from the ELF section in ''module_file'' which contains the module information. Replacements consist of a percent sign followed by a tag name in curly braces. A tagname of ''%{filename}'' is always supported, even if the module has no modinfo section. ''%{kernel_version}'' shows the version of the kernel the module was compiled for. ''%{using_checksums}'' expands to 1 is the module has versioned symbols and to 0 or '' A tagname of ''%{parm}'' is special: the format string line is repeated for each known module parameter (which may be zero times) and ''%{parm}'' is then replaced by descriptions of module parameters (one parameter on each repeated line). Alternatively, ''%a'', ''%d'', ''%l'', ''%n'' and ''%p'' can be used instead of ''%{author}'', ''%{description}'', ''%{filename}'', ''%{license}'' and ''%{parm}'', respectively. __-h__, __--help__ Display a summary of options and immediately exit. __-l__, __--license__ Display the module's license. __-n__, __--filename__ Display the module's filename. __-p__, __--parameters__ Display the typed parameters that a module may support. __-V__, __--version__ Display the version of __modinfo__. If no options are supplied, the default is filename, description, author, license and parameters. !!SEE ALSO insmod(8), modprobe(8), depmod(8), rmmod(8), lsmod(8), ksyms(8), modules(2) ----
