8 objfs \- Kernel object filesystem
12 The \fBobjfs\fR filesystem describes the state of all modules currently loaded
13 by the kernel. It is mounted during boot at \fB/system/object\fR.
16 The contents of the filesystem are dynamic and reflect the current state of the
17 system. Each module is represented by a directory containing a single
18 file, 'object.' The object file is a read only ELF file which contains information
19 about the object loaded in the kernel.
22 The kernel may load and unload modules dynamically as the system runs. As a
23 result, applications may observe different directory contents in
24 \fB/system/object\fR if they repeatedly rescan the directory. If a module is
25 unloaded, its associated \fB/system/object\fR files disappear from the
26 hierarchy and subsequent attempts to open them, or to read files opened before
27 the module unloaded, elicits an error.
