Short Descriptions
- 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
-
Generates symbol version information
- insmod
-
Installs a loadable module in the running kernel
- insmod_ksymoops_clean
-
Deletes saved ksyms and modules not accessed for two days
- kallsyms
-
Extracts all kernel symbols for debugging
- kernelversion
-
Reports the major version of the running kernel
- ksyms
-
Displays exported kernel symbols
- lsmod
-
Lists currently loaded modules
- modinfo
-
Examines an object file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean
- modprobe
-
Uses a dependency file, created by depmod, to automatically load relevant modules
- rmmod
-
Unloads modules from the running kernel
