       where Id is the module ID, Loadaddr is the  starting  text  address  in
       hexadecimal,  Size  is  the  size of text, data, and bss in hexadecimal
       bytes, Info is module specific information, Rev is the revision of  the
       loadable	 modules  system, and Module Name is the filename and descrip‐
       tion of the module.

       The module specific information is the block and character  major  num‐
       bers for drivers, the system call number for system calls, and unspeci‐
       fied for other module types.
