-.TH create_module 2 2023-10-31 "Linux man-pages 6.7"
-.SH NAME
-create_module \- create a loadable module entry
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <linux/module.h>
-.P
-.BI "[[deprecated]] caddr_t create_module(const char *" name ", size_t " size );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.IR Note :
-This system call is present only before Linux 2.6.
-.P
-.BR create_module ()
-attempts to create a loadable module entry and reserve the kernel memory
-that will be needed to hold the module.
-This system call requires privilege.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, returns the kernel address at which the module will reside.
-On error, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EEXIST
-A module by that name already exists.
-.TP
-.B EFAULT
-.I name
-is outside the program's accessible address space.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-The requested size is too small even for the module header information.
-.TP
-.B ENOMEM
-The kernel could not allocate a contiguous block of memory large
-enough for the module.
-.TP
-.B ENOSYS
-.BR create_module ()
-is not supported in this version of the kernel
-(e.g., Linux 2.6 or later).
-.TP
-.B EPERM
-The caller was not privileged
-(did not have the
-.B CAP_SYS_MODULE
-capability).
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux.
-.SH HISTORY
-Removed in Linux 2.6.
-.\" Removed in Linux 2.5.48
-.P
-This obsolete system call is not supported by glibc.
-No declaration is provided in glibc headers, but, through a quirk of history,
-glibc versions before glibc 2.23 did export an ABI for this system call.
-Therefore, in order to employ this system call,
-it was sufficient to manually declare the interface in your code;
-alternatively, you could invoke the system call using
-.BR syscall (2).

-.BR init_module (2),
