GET_KERNEL_SYMS (2)
retrieve exported kernel and module symbols
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/module.h>
int get_kernel_syms(struct kernel_sym * table );
DESCRIPTION
If table is NULL, get_kernel_syms returns the
number of symbols available for query. Otherwise it fills in a
table of structures:
struct kernel_sym
{
unsigned long value;
char name[60];
};
The symbols are interspersed with magic symbols of the form
# module-name
with the kernel having an empty name.
The value associated with a symbol of this form is the address at
which the module is loaded.
The symbols exported from each module follow their magic module tag
and the modules are returned in the reverse order they were loaded.
RETURN VALUE
Returns the number of symbols returned. There is no possible error return.
SEE ALSO
BUGS
There is no way to indicate the size of the buffer allocated for
table. If symbols have been added to the kernel since the
program queried for the symbol table size, memory will be corrupted.
The length of exported symbol names is limited to 59.
Because of these limitations, this system call is depreciated in
favor of query_module.
