[Linux] C Shell (csh) lsmod用法: Display loaded kernel modules

Overview

The lsmod command in C Shell is used to display the currently loaded kernel modules in the Linux operating system. It provides a list of all modules that are currently active, along with their dependencies.

Usage

The basic syntax of the lsmod command is as follows:

lsmod [options] [arguments]

Common Options

While lsmod does not have many options, here are a couple of commonly used ones:

• -h, --help: Displays help information about the command.
• -v, --version: Shows the version of the lsmod command.

Common Examples

1. Display all loaded modules:

   lsmod
   

2. Display help information:

   lsmod --help
   

3. Show version of lsmod:

   lsmod --version
   

Tips

• Use lsmod in combination with other commands like modinfo to get detailed information about specific modules.
• Regularly check loaded modules to troubleshoot hardware issues or conflicts.
• Remember that lsmod only shows modules that are currently loaded; it does not list available modules that are not loaded.
