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.

Example

With the command:
/u/h/yourusername>kldstat
without any option will give you something like this:

Back to the Icon Disti GhostBSD.pngHow To

These kernel modules are already loaded into the kernel.
The opensolaris kernel module is needed by ZFS. vboxdrv.ko, vboxnetflt.ko and vboxnetadp.ko are added because of the use of VirtualBox.
