%general-entities; ]> Module-Init-Tools The Module-Init-Tools package contains programs for handling kernel modules in Linux kernels greater than or equal to version 2.5.47. &buildtime; 0.1 SBU &buildtime; 650 KB Module-Init-Tools installation depends on: Bash, Binutils, Bison, Coreutils, Diffutils, Flex, GCC, Glibc, Grep, M4, Make, Sed. Prepare Module-Init-Tools for compilation: ./configure --prefix="" --enable-zlib Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check. Install it: make install Installed programs: depmod, genksyms, insmod, insmod_ksymoops_clean, kallsyms (link to insmod), kernelversion, ksyms (link to insmod), lsmod (link to insmod), modinfo, modprobe (link to insmod) and rmmod (link to insmod) depmod depmod creates a dependency file, based on the symbols it finds in the existing set of modules. This dependency file is used by modprobe to automatically load the required modules. genksyms genksyms generates symbol version information. insmod insmod installs a loadable module in the running kernel. insmod_ksymoops_clean insmod_ksymoops_clean deletes saved ksyms and modules not accessed for two days. kallsyms kallsyms extracts all kernel symbols for debugging. kernelversion kernelversion reports the major version of the running kernel. ksyms ksyms displays exported kernel symbols. lsmod lsmod shows which modules are loaded. modinfo modinfo examines an object file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean. modprobe modprobe uses a dependency file, created by depmod, to automatically load the relevant modules. rmmod rmmod unloads modules from the running kernel.
