Nope, there is precious little doc about modules, especially

There is a FAQ, but I doubt that it answers many of your

You could try LDD3, but I don't see much there that would help
you either.

No, no syscall to do that. Looks like it will require reading

And you answered my "what" question clearly, so I have one more.
Why? for what purpose, to what end? What are you tring to
