Subject: query_modules syscall gone? Any replacement?
Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2005 17:02:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4321A40C.6080205@rulez.cz> (raw)
Greetings,
I'm coding an application that messes with modules a lot, and I've
stumbled upon a query_modules syscall in my docs. Later I've found out
that the docs come from modutils and that module-init-tools doesn't seem
to document (any of) the syscalls.
May I then ask, why is the query_module syscall gone? And more
importantly, what replaces it, if anything? It seems to me that parsing
the /proc/modules is not only less comfortable, but according to the
very obsolete manpage I have, it also can provide less information.
For exmaple I'm not aware of anything like QM_SYMBOLS on per-module
basis like it was (do correct me if I am wrong, it'd simplify my work a
lot), ... and getting QM_REFS for example requires extensive parsing of
/proc/modules.
Thanks in advance for reply.
