lsmod is a command on Linux systems which prints the contents of the /proc/modules file. It shows which loadable kernel modules are currently loaded.

Abridged example output:

# lsmod
Module Size Used by
af_packet 27392 2
8139too 30592 0
snd_cs46xx 96872 3
snd_pcm_oss 55808 1
snd_mixer_oss 21760 2 snd_pcm_oss
ip6table_filter 7424 1
ip6_tables 19728 1 ip6table_filter
ipv6 290404 22

scsi_mod 158316 3 usb_storage,sd_mod,libata
usbcore 155312 6 ohci_hcd,usb_storage,usbhid

“Module” denotes the name of the module, “Size” the amount of memory it uses, “Used” its use count, and “by” a list of referring modules. If the module controls its own unloading via a can_unload routine then the user count displayed by lsmod is always -1, irrespective of the real use count.
