QUERY_MODULE(2)            Linux Programmer's Manual           QUERY_MODULE(2)

NAME
       query_module - query the kernel for various bits pertaining to modules

SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/module.h>

       int query_module(const char *name, int which, void *buf,
                        size_t bufsize, size_t *ret);

       Note:  No declaration of this system call is provided in glibc headers;
       see NOTES.

DESCRIPTION
       Note: This system call is present only in kernels before Linux 2.6.

       query_module() requests information from the kernel about loadable mod‐
       ules.  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 cur‐
       rently 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 in‐
              dicated  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 cur‐
              rent status of the module (see the Linux kernel source file  in‐
              clude/linux/module.h).   ret  is  set  to  the  size of the mod‐
              ule_info structure.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned  and  errno  is
       set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EFAULT At  least one of name, buf, or ret was outside the program's ac‐
              cessible 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 mini‐
              mum size needed.

       ENOSYS query_module()  is  not  supported in this version of the kernel
              (e.g., the kernel is version 2.6 or later).

VERSIONS
       This system call is present on Linux only up until kernel 2.4;  it  was
       removed in Linux 2.6.

CONFORMING TO
       query_module() is Linux-specific.

NOTES
       Some  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  declara‐
       tion  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 in‐
       terface in your code; alternatively, you can invoke the system call us‐
       ing syscall(2).
