# lsmod - Unix, Linux Command

# NAME

lsmod — program to show the status of modules in the Linux Kernel

# SYNOPSIS

lsmod

# DESCRIPTION

lsmod is a trivial program which nicely formats the contents of the /proc/modules, showing what kernel modules are currently loaded.

# BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY

This version of lsmod is for kernels 2.5.48 and above. If it detects a kernel with support for old-style modules, it will attempt to run lsmod.old in its place, so it is completely transparent to the user.
