OBJFS(7FS)OBJFS(7FS)NAMEobjfs - Kernel object filesystem
DESCRIPTION
The objfs filesystem describes the state of all modules currently
loaded by the kernel. It is mounted during boot at /system/object.
The contents of the filesystem are dynamic and reflect the current
state of the system. Each module is represented by a directory contain‐
ing a single file, 'object.' The object file is a read only ELF file
which contains information about the object loaded in the kernel.
The kernel may load and unload modules dynamically as the system runs.
As a result, applications may observe different directory contents in
/system/object if they repeatedly rescan the directory. If a module is
unloaded, its associated /system/object files disappear from the hier‐
archy and subsequent attempts to open them, or to read files opened
before the module unloaded, elicits an error.
