NAMEquery_module − query the kernel for various bits pertaining to modules
SYNOPSIS#include <linux/module.h>[[deprecated]] int query_module(const char *name, int which,
void buf[.bufsize], size_t bufsize,
size_t *ret);
DESCRIPTIONNote: This system call is present only before Linux 2.6. query_module() requests information from the kernel about loadable modules. The returned information is placed in the buffer pointed to by buf. The caller must specify the size of buf in bufsize. The precise nature and format of the returned information depend on the operation specified by which. Some operations require name to identify a currently loaded module, some allow name to be NULL, indicating the kernel proper. The following values can be specified for which: 0 Returns success, if the kernel supports query_module(). Used to probe for availability of the system call. QM_MODULES Returns the names of all loaded modules. The returned buffer consists of a sequence of null-terminated strings; ret is set to the number of modules. QM_DEPS Returns the names of all modules used by the indicated module. The returned buffer consists of a sequence of null-terminated strings; ret is set to the number of modules. QM_REFS Returns the names of all modules using the indicated module. This is the inverse of QM_DEPS. The returned buffer consists of a sequence of null-terminated strings; ret is set to the number of modules. QM_SYMBOLS Returns the symbols and values exported by the kernel or the indicated module. The returned buffer is an array of structures of the following form struct module_symbol {
unsigned long value;
unsigned long name;
};followed by null-terminated strings. The value of name is the character offset of the string relative to the start of buf; ret is set to the number of symbols. QM_INFO Returns miscellaneous information about the indicated module. The output buffer format is: struct module_info {
unsigned long address;
unsigned long size;
unsigned long flags;
};where address is the kernel address at which the module resides, size is the size of the module in bytes, and flags is a mask of MOD_RUNNING, MOD_AUTOCLEAN, and so on, that indicates the current status of the module (see the Linux kernel source file include/linux/module.h). ret is set to the size of the module_info structure.
RETURN VALUEOn success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORSEFAULT At least one of name, buf, or ret was outside the program's accessible address space. EINVAL Invalid which; or name is NULL (indicating "the kernel"), but this is not permitted with the specified value of which. ENOENT No module by that name exists. ENOSPC The buffer size provided was too small. ret is set to the minimum size needed. ENOSYS query_module() is not supported in this version of the kernel (e.g., Linux 2.6 or later).
VERSIONSThis system call is present only up until Linux 2.4; it was removed in Linux 2.6.
STANDARDSquery_module() is Linux-specific.
NOTESSome of the information that was formerly available via query_module() can be obtained from /proc/modules, /proc/kallsyms, and the files under the directory /sys/module. The query_module() system call is not supported by glibc. No declaration is provided in glibc headers, but, through a quirk of history, glibc does export an ABI for this system call. Therefore, in order to employ this system call, it is sufficient to manually declare the interface in your code; alternatively, you can invoke the system call using syscall(2).
