/proc/ksyms


  11..  PPuurrppoossee

  /proc/ksyms is a virtual file used to extract the kernel symbols
  needed to dynamically link kernel modules.

  This file is of little use to end users or even to many
  administrators. It lets _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f determine if the kernel is capable
  of loading modules.

  If this file is available, Linuxconf will make sure that the module
  system is properly initialized.
