Diff between /sys/module and /proc/modules

[shariefbe]

Hello,
May i know what is the difference between /sys/modules and /proc/modules?

I know this /proc/modules is a file and this /sys/module is a directory. But i am confused. why this both is having similar information about currently running driver modules. sorry if i am wrong.

Other than the fact that /proc/modules contains a list of currently installed modules, their state and I think their memory address where loaded and /sys/module is a tree of directories with module-related information, I cannot say what the intended differences are. I would suggest that you check out The Linux Documentation Project and The Linux Kernel Archives for more information about the structure of the Linux runtime virtual file systems such as /proc and /sys.
