1What: /sys/module
2Description:
3 The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
4
5 /sys/module/MODULENAME
6 The name of the module that is in the kernel. This
7 module name will show up either if the module is built
8 directly into the kernel, or if it is loaded as a
9 dyanmic module.
10
11 /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters
12 This directory contains individual files that are each
13 individual parameters of the module that are able to be
14 changed at runtime. See the individual module
15 documentation as to the contents of these parameters and
16 what they accomplish.
17
18 Note: The individual parameter names and values are not
19 considered stable, only the fact that they will be
20 placed in this location within sysfs. See the
21 individual driver documentation for details as to the
22 stability of the different parameters.
23
24 /sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt
25 If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file
26 will contain the current reference count of the module.
27
28 Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the
29 CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled,
30 this file will not be present.
