NAME
     modstat — display status of loaded kernel modules

SYNOPSIS
     modstat [-n] [name]

DESCRIPTION
     The modstat utility displays the status of any kernel modules present in

	     Display the status of only the module with this name.  Please
	     note that -n is optional.

     In addition to listing the currently loaded modules' name, the informa‐
     tion reported by modstat includes:

     CLASS     Module class, such as "vfs", "driver", "exec", "misc" or "sec‐
	       model".

     SOURCE    Where the module was loaded from.  "builtin" indicates that the
	       module was built into the running kernel.  "boot" indicates
	       that the module was loaded during system bootstrap.  "filesys"
	       indicates that the module was loaded from the file system.

     SIZE      Size of the module in bytes.
