ksyms

NAME

       ksyms - shows the exported kernel symbols.

SYNOPSIS

       ksyms [ -a ] [ -h ] [ -m ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ksyms shows information about all all exported kernel sym-
       bols.  The format is:
       address  name  [defining module]
       The describing header can be turned off  with  the  option
       '-h'.
       Normally,  only  the symbols defined by the loaded modules
       are show, but with the option '-a', all  exported  symbols
       can be seen.
       The information can also be seen in /proc/ksyms.  A shell-
       script version 'ksyms.sh' can be used to get the  informa-
       tion from '/proc/ksyms' instead, but this program gets the
       symbol information directly from the kernel with a  system
       call.
       With the option '-m' (stands for memory map), you can also
       see the starting address and the  size  of  the  allocated
       memory for every loaded module.

       modules(2)

HISTORY

       The ksyms command was  first  concieved  by  Bjorn  Ekwall
       <bj0rn@blox.se>.
       The  '-m' option was inspired by David Hinds <dhinds@alle-
       gro.stanford.edu>

BUGS

       Ksyms might have some, but they are well hidden...
