lsmod - list loaded modules. SYNOPSIS
lsmod [-hV] DESCRIPTION
lsmod shows information about all loaded modules. The format is name, size, use count, list of referring modules. The information displayed is identical to that available from /proc/mod- ules. If the module controls its own unloading via a can_unload routine then the user count displayed by lsmod is always -1, irrespective of the real use count. OPTIONS
-h, --help Display a summary of options and immediately exit. -V, --version Display the version of lsmod and immediately exit. SEE ALSO
insmod(8), modprobe(8), depmod(8), rmmod(8), ksyms(8) HISTORY
