⟩ What kind of information the Linux driver modules (.ko ) files has?

kernel 2.6 introduces a new file naming convention: kernel

modules now have a .ko extension (in place of the old .o

extension) which easily distinguishes them from conventional

object files. The reason for this is that they contain an

additional .modinfo section that where additional

information about the module is kept.

Linux program modpost can be used to convert .o files into

.ko files.
