lsmod

DESCRIPTION

Lsmod shows information about all loaded modules. The format is name, size, use count, list of referring modules. The information displayed is identical to that available from /proc/modules. If the module controls its own unloading via a can_unload routine then the user count displayed by lsmod is always -1, irrespective of the real use count.
