What it does is calls a system call to attach the code of Module to the kernel. Your module is a file. So the insmod program opens the file. So, obviously file struct, inode etc are created. But destroyed when insmod exits. As insmod is any other task. It has an entry in proc. You can read it by its pid. regards manish -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
