-libkmod - linux kernel module handling library
-
-ABSTRACT
-========
-
-libkmod was created to allow programs to easily insert, remove and list modules,
-also checking their properties, dependencies and aliases.
-
-The library does not keep a shared/global context information, thus it can be
-used by multiple sites on a single program. One is able to use libkmod from
-threads, although the user must lock explicitly, since the library is not thread
-safe.
-
-
-OVERVIEW
-========
-
-All users should create and manage their own library context with:
-
- struct kmod_ctx *ctx = kmod_new(kernel_dirname);
- kmod_unref(ctx);
-
-
-Modules can be created by various means:
-
- struct kmod_module *mod;
- int err;
-
- err = kmod_module_new_from_path(ctx, path, &mod);
- if (err < 0) {
- /* code */
- } else {
- /* code */
- kmod_module_unref(mod);
- }
-
- err = kmod_module_new_from_name(ctx, name, &mod);
- if (err < 0) {
- /* code */
- } else {
- /* code */
- kmod_module_unref(mod);
- }
-
-
-Or could be resolved from a known alias to a list of alternatives:
-
- struct kmod_list *list, *itr;
- int err;
- err = kmod_module_new_from_lookup(ctx, alias, &list);
- if (err < 0) {
- /* code */
- } else {
- kmod_list_foreach(itr, list) {
- struct kmod_module *mod = kmod_module_get_module(itr);
- /* code */
- }
- }
