NAME
       modstat() - get information for a dynamically loaded kernel module

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       allows  processes to get information for dynamically loaded kernel mod‐
       ules.  For processes with appropriate privilege, it fills  in  all  the
       elements	 of  the  structure,  specified by stbuf, with the information
       available for the given module identifier module_id.  For nonprivileged
       processes,  fills in all information except the address and size of the
       module  object  file  sections  in  memory  (ms_base, ms_size,  ms_bss,
       ms_bss_size).

       If  the	value  of get_next_module is TRUE, returns the information for
       the next module whose identifier is greater than or equal to module_id.
       Any module_id associated with a registered module may be queried by

       The and definitions are:

   Notes
       is currently implemented as a macro.

   Security Restrictions
       For  nonprivileged  processes,  returns	all  module information except
       address and size of module object file sections in memory.  To retrieve
       all  information	 of  the  module including the address and size of the
       module object file sections in memory using the process must be a supe‐
       ruser process or a privileged process with privilege.

       See privileges(5) for more information about the privilege.

RETURN VALUE
       returns one of the following values:

	      Success.

	      Failure.
		     It sets to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       sets  to	 one of the following values if the corresponding condition is
       detected.

       module_id      does not match any  loaded  or  registered  module  when
		      get_next_module  is  FALSE  or module_id is greater than
		      the identifier for any loaded module when	 get_next_mod‐
		      ule is TRUE.

       The Dynamically Loadable Kernel Module feature is not initialized.
