LKM related API documentation

[Abhijeet Kasurde]

Hi All,

Can anyone point me to any location of documentation related to Linux
Kernel Module APIs ?

I am specifically looking for following APIs -

1. find_symbol
2. request_module
3. find_module etc.

Thanks in advance.

hi Abhijeet,

read the code. Its really simple to understand all the three above. I don't
think any documentation on these specifically. But the usage is quite
simple. Try to look up some modules that use them.

  you could always generate the documentation from the kerneldoc
content. i wrote a wiki page on that once, i think the page is still
accurate:

Thanks Robert, Pranay.

Robert, I will take look into generating documentation using your given link,

These are just few examples of APIs, I wanted to explore more APIs so
documentation will always help and come in handy.

BTW, I found one link for various APIs related LKM -
https://github.com/jchuang1977/Linux_kernel_API_sample_code
This might help others.
