Solved Where is the definition and implementation of kldload?

David John · Jul 30, 2017

I am trying to find the implementation of kldload function, which is used in /usr/src/sbin/kldload/kldload.c, L177

Code:

fileid = kldload(argv[0]);

I searched the kernel code but couldn't really find its implementation!

I appreciate your help.

It's a syscall: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/kern/syscalls.c#L314

Then ref sys/kern/kern_linker.c see sys_kldload and kern_kldload.

I most of the times find OpenGrok a better source code browsing platform than others...You may also want to have a look at this
