Subj : Incredibly bloated 'lsmod' To : comp.os.linux From : nobody Date : Sat Aug 28 2004 05:10 am I've just noticed something. The contents of /proc/modules and the output of the 'lsmod' program are identical except for one line. So why even have an 'lsmod' program? It can be replaced with a tiny shell script: #!/bin/ash echo 'Module Size Used by Not tainted' exec cat /proc/modules .
