KSYMS(1) Linux Module Support KSYMS(1)
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.

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