if this just executes lsmod and parses the result, then the user can create a lsmod earlier in their path that echo's the results from a different box

or you could allow the user to specify a command to get the data (defaulting to lsmod if nothing is specified)

Both of those are a bit of overkill. Why create an executable to generate the data, when a file will do.
