struct module_stat {
int version; /* set to sizeof(module_stat) */
char name[MAXPATHLEN];
int refs;
int id;
modspecific_t data;
};
typedef union modspecific {
int intval;
u_int u_intval;
long longval;
u_long u_longval;
} modspecific_t;

ERRORS
The information for the module referred to by modid is filled into the structure pointed to by stat unless: [ENOENT ] The module was not found (probably not loaded). [EINVAL ] The version specified in the version field of stat is not the proper version. You would need to rebuild world, the kernel, or your application, if this error occurs, given that you did properly fill in the version field. [EFAULT ] There was a problem copying one, some, or all of the fields into stat in the copyout (9) function.
