Subject: Query on code space and data space !

Hi all :

I'm using a linux box running RH7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3).
I've inserted one kernel module and I need information
on how much code space and data space my module
has consumed.

Is there any way to know these statistics ? Doing a
cat /proc/<process ID>/status (or stat or statm)
showed some information. But I'm not very clear.

Any pointers in this regard are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Parthi.

I think you really want /proc/modules....
though it doesn't distinguish between code space and
data space. At this level of the kernel there isn't any
difference.
