63itself.
64.It name

66.Fa fileid .
67.It refs
68The number of modules referenced by
69.Fa fileid .
70.It id
71The id of the file specified in
72.Fa fileid .
73.It address
74The load address of the kld file.
75.It size

83.Rv -std kldstat
84.Sh ERRORS
85The information for the file referred to by
86.Fa fileid
87is filled into the structure pointed to by
88.Fa stat
89unless:
90.Bl -tag -width Er
91.It Bq Er ENOENT
92The file was not found (probably not loaded).
93.It Bq Er EINVAL
94The version specified in the

96field of stat is not the proper version.
97You would need to rebuild world, the

100.Fa version
101field.
