   1 What:           /sys/module
   2 Description:
   3         The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
   4
   5         /sys/module/MODULENAME
   6                 The name of the module that is in the kernel.  This
   7                 module name will always show up if the module is loaded as a
   8                 dynamic module.  If it is built directly into the kernel, it
   9                 will only show up if it has a version or at least one
  10                 parameter.
  11
  12                 Note: The conditions of creation in the built-in case are not
  13                 by design and may be removed in the future.
  14
  15         /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters
  16                 This directory contains individual files that are each
  17                 individual parameters of the module that are able to be
  18                 changed at runtime.  See the individual module
  19                 documentation as to the contents of these parameters and
  20                 what they accomplish.
  21
  22                 Note: The individual parameter names and values are not
  23                 considered stable, only the fact that they will be
  24                 placed in this location within sysfs.  See the
  25                 individual driver documentation for details as to the
  26                 stability of the different parameters.
  27
  28         /sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt
  29                 If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file
  30                 will contain the current reference count of the module.
  31
  32                 Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the
  33                 CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled,
  34                 this file will not be present.
