.SH "NAME"
ksplice\-apply \- Apply an on\-disk Ksplice update to the running kernel
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBksplice-apply\fR [\fI\s-1OPTIONS\s0\fR] {\fI\s-1UPDATE_TARBALL\s0\fR | \fI\s-1UPDATE_TREE\s0\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBksplice-apply\fR takes as input a Ksplice update, as generated by
\&\fIksplice\-create\fR\|(8), and it applies the update to the running binary kernel.
The update may be supplied in the form of a tarball or an unpacked tree.
.PP
The update is required to have been generated for the running kernel's
version.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fR" 8
.IX Item "--debug"
Applies the update with debugging output enabled.  Recommended only for
debugging.
.IP "\fB\-\-debugfile=\fR\fIfilename\fR" 8
.IX Item "--debugfile=filename"
Sets the location where debugging output should be saved.  Implies \-\-debug.
.IP "\fB\-\-partial\fR" 8
.IX Item "--partial"
Applies the update only to those modules which are loaded.  Any
modules patched by the update that are not loaded are ignored (without
this option, Ksplice aborts if any modules patched by the update are
not loaded).
.IP "\fB\-\-raw\-errors\fR" 8
.IX Item "--raw-errors"
Print only raw error information designed to be machine-readable on
standard error (standard output is still intended to be
human-readable).  If \fBksplice-apply\fR fails due to an error from the
Ksplice kernel modules, the first line on standard error will be a
Ksplice \fBabort code\fR (see the Ksplice source code for documentation
on these codes).  Further lines will vary depending on the abort code.
If \fBksplice-apply\fR fails for any other reason, it will output the
line \f(CW"OTHER\en"\fR, followed by a human-readable failure message, to
standard error.
