Dear all,
I have the following problem. Some functionality can be either built
into the kernel or it can be build as a module. In the latter case the
application should load the module.
Is there a general approach to test if specific functionality is built
statically or as a module?
Thanks
Arokux

If available, you can check .config file.
(e.g check if CONFIG_X_OPTION=Y or CONFIG_X_OPTION=m).
thanks,
Daniel.

If you don't have your .config (distro prebuilt image), you can check
/proc/config.gz or /boot/ for a config which corresponds to your uname
-r.
