I assume that "lsmod" only lists loaded modules. I read the book "The Unix Philosophy" and later the Linux equivalent "Linux and ...". For example: a) Small is beautiful b) Silence is golden. When there is no data, a header to explain it is needless, but _forces_ it to be read, thus e.g. wasting time _paying_ attention to actually _no_ information. -- Bjarni I.
