Avoid calling _next() function because it's an exported function and
linker can not optimize it.
Thanks to "Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri <barbieri@profusion.mobi>" for
suggestion.
provide means to get:
* refcount
* initstate
* holders
* sections
this can be used to individually query properties from modules,
similar to /proc/modules (kmod_loaded / kmod_loaded_module).
make the function names reflect the structure they are operating on.
the structure is now allocated and remembers the context it was
created, then no need to give the context in every function call.
functions that do not modify their parameters get them as const pointers.
special cases:
* kmod_get_userdata/kmod_set_userdata: return as void* for user convenience.
* kmod_list_append/kmod_list_prepend: take const void* for user convenience.
We return a kmod_list when searching for an alias. Right now, it only
search for aliases in config files.
To use it, we create a list:
list = NULL;
kmod_module_new_from_lookup(..., &list);
And iterate over it to get the modules and their details:
kmod_list_foreach(l, list) {
struct kmod_mod *mod = kmod_module_get_module(l);
...
... kmod_module_get_name(mod);
... kmod_module_get_path(mod);
}
Aliases might contain globs and are match by using fnmatch().
