       /proc/kallsyms - kernel exported symbols

DESCRIPTION         top

       /proc/kallsyms (since Linux 2.5.71)
              This holds the kernel exported symbol definitions used by
              the modules(X) tools to dynamically link and bind loadable
              modules.  In Linux 2.5.47 and earlier, a similar file with
              slightly different syntax was named ksyms.

HISTORY         top
