Introduction

The kldstat utility displays the status of any files dynamically linked into the kernel.

The following options are available:

Option	Description
-h	Display the size field in a human-readable form, using unit suffixes instead of hex values.
-v	Be more verbose.
-d	Show the module specific data (as int, unsigned int and unsigned long)
-i	id; Display the status of only the file with this ID.
-n	filename; Display the status of only the file with this filename.
-q	Only check if module is loaded or compiled into the kernel.
-m	modname; Display the status of only the module with this modname.

With the command >kldstat without option you will give you something like this:
