<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Note</I>:
|
|
|
|
This system call is present only in kernels before Linux 2.6.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>create_module</B>()
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
On success, returns the kernel address at which the module will reside.
|
|
On error, -1 is returned and
|
|
<I>errno</I>
|
|
|
|
is set appropriately.

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.

<H2>VERSIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
This system call is present on Linux only up until kernel 2.4;
|
|
it was removed in Linux 2.6.

|

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
|
|

<B>create_module</B>()

is Linux-specific.

<A NAME="lbAI"> </A>
|
|
<H2>NOTES</H2>
|
|
|
|
This obsolete system call is not supported by glibc.
|
|
No declaration is provided in glibc headers, but, through a quirk of history,
|
|
glibc versions before 2.23 did export an ABI for this system call.
|
|
Therefore, in order to employ this system call,
|
|
it was sufficient to manually declare the interface in your code;
|
|
alternatively, you could invoke the system call using
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+syscall">syscall</A></B>(2).
