There is no supported API for accessing information about loaded kexts.  If you need one, please file a bug report.

Kexstat is command line tool for accessing the loaded module info.

 However, I have to access the information inside a user level application. How can i do that? Are there any interfaces supported in Snow leopard.

  kmod_get_info also doesnt work on Snow Leopard. Kindly help.

I would just pipe and parse that. That way you are completely independent of the system you are running on.

For more details, look in  http://opensource.apple.com/source/IOKitUser/IOKitUser-502.0.3/kext.subproj/OSKext.c

As an aside: A lot of people read darwin-dev AND darwin-drivers. Please do NOT crosspost
