What: /sys/module
|
||||
Description:
|
||||
The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/module/MODULENAME
|
||||
The name of the module that is in the kernel. This
|
||||
module name will show up either if the module is built
|
||||
directly into the kernel, or if it is loaded as a
|
||||
dyanmic module.
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters
|
||||
This directory contains individual files that are each
|
||||
individual parameters of the module that are able to be
|
||||
changed at runtime. See the individual module
|
||||
documentation as to the contents of these parameters and
|
||||
what they accomplish.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The individual parameter names and values are not
|
||||
considered stable, only the fact that they will be
|
||||
placed in this location within sysfs. See the
|
||||
individual driver documentation for details as to the
|
||||
stability of the different parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt
|
||||
If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file
|
||||
will contain the current reference count of the module.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the
|
||||
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled,
|
||||
this file will not be present.
