I completely get you. I should stop sending this. Thanks for the heads
up.

And I was not denying the verbosity of lsmod and modinfo , as I was
pointing out to someone else.

About the V2, this was a mistake , I know once I saw it alas! after
sending it you. So, my apology.

One thing get it straight , I am NOT trying to flooding with some airy
fairy script , I know what it takes to maintain that bloody thing.

Your time is precious like mine, never try to gobbles it by sending
garbage.

I was thinking make it easy for others, not sure why you think it's
wired.

Again , thanks for the heads up...above statements are STRICTLY NOT in my
defence not to cover the mistake.
