KSYMS(8) Linux Module Support KSYMS(8)
NAME
ksyms - display exported kernel symbols.
SYNOPSIS
ksyms [-ahm]
DESCRIPTION
Ksyms shows information about exported kernel symbols. The format is
address, name, and defining module.
OPTIONS
-a, --all
Display all symbols. By default, symbols from the kernel proper
are suppressed.
-h, --noheader
Suppress the column header.
-H, --help
Display a summary of options and exit.
-m, --info
Display module information. Includes each module's kernel load(7,n)
address and size in(1,8) the listing.
-V, --version
Display the version(1,3,5) of ksyms.
SEE ALSO
insmod(8), modprobe(5,8)(8), depmod(8), rmmod(8), lsmod(8).
BUGS
ksyms [ -V | --version ] should exit(3,n,1 builtins) immediately. Instead, it prints
the version(1,3,5) information and behaves as if(3,n) no options were given.
Although the fix for this bug is trivial, it changes the behaviour of
modutils. Given the large number of distributions and scripts that run
modutils and expect the current behaviour, any change of behaviour is
unacceptable in(1,8) 2.4. Don't bother sending patches for this bug, it
will not be fixed in(1,8) 2.4, it should be fixed in(1,8) 2.5.
