.Sh NAME
.Nm kldstat
.Nd get status of kernel module
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #include <sys/module.h>
.Ft int
.Fn modstat "int modid" "struct module_stat *stat"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn modstat
function writes the info for the kernel module referred to by
.Fa modid
into
.Fa stat .
.Bd -literal
struct module_stat {
int version; /* set to sizeof(module_stat) */
char name[MAXPATHLEN];
int refs;
int id;
modspecific_t data;
};
typedef union modspecific {
int intval;
u_int u_intval;
long longval;
u_long u_longval;
} modspecific_t;
.Ed
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width XXXaddress
.It version
This field is set to the size of the structure mentioned above by the code
calling
.Fn modstat ,
and not
.Fn modstat
itself.
.It name
The name of the module referred to by
.Fa modid .
.It refs
The number of modules referenced by
.Fa modid .
.It id
The id of the module specified in
.Fa modid .
.It data

.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn modstat
seems to always return 0.
.Sh ERRORS
The information for the module referred to by
.Fa modid
is filled into the structure pointed to by
.Fa stat
unless:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOENT
The module was not found (probably not loaded).
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The version specified in the
.Fa version
field of stat is not the proper version. You would need to rebuild world, the
kernel, or your application, if this error occurs, given that you did properly
fill in the
.Fa version
field.
.It Bq Er EFAULT
There was a problem copying one, some, or all of the fields into
.Fa stat
in the
.Fn copyout
function.
