create_module — create a loadable module entry
#include <linux/module.h>
caddr_t create_module( |
const char * | name, |
| size_t | size); |
create_module() attempts to
create a loadable module entry and reserve the kernel memory
that will be needed to hold the module. This system call
requires privilege.
On success, returns the kernel address at which the module
will reside. On error −1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
A module by that name already exists.
name is
outside the program's accessible address space.
The requested size is too small even for the module header information.
The kernel could not allocate a contiguous block of memory large enough for the module.
create_module() is not
supported in this version of the kernel.
The caller was not privileged (did not have the
CAP_SYS_MODULE
capability).
This system call is only present on Linux up until kernel 2.4; it was removed in Linux 2.6.
This page is part of release 2.79 of the Linux man-pages project. A
description of the project, and information about reporting
bugs, can be found at
