How to find whether a kernel module is WMS or not


I have a file system kernel module "xxxfs.ko", I want to know whether it is weak module supported or not without trying to load it on some other kernel.
Is there any command to do so?

You can try:
Code:
modinfo /path/to/xxxfs.ko
If the author has given a description, you'll see it
