.SH NAME
modinfo \- display information about loaded kernel modules
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fB/usr/sbin/modinfo\fR [\fB-c\fR] [\fB-w\fR] [\fB-i\fR \fImodule-id\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmodinfo\fR utility displays information about the loaded modules. The format of the information is as follows:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fIId\fR \fILoadaddr\fR \fISize\fR \fIInfo\fR \fIRev\fR \fIModule Name\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIId\fR is the module ID, \fILoadaddr\fR is the starting text address in hexadecimal, \fISize\fR is the size of text, data, and bss in hexadecimal bytes, \fIInfo\fR is module specific information, \fIRev\fR is the revision of the loadable modules system, and \fIModule Name\fR is the filename and description of the module.
.sp
.LP
The module specific information is the block and character major numbers for drivers, the system call number for system calls, and unspecified for other module types.
