NAME¶
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux KernelSYNOPSIS¶
rmmod
[ -f] [-w] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
DESCRIPTION¶
OPTIONS¶
-v --verbosePrint messages about what the program is
doing. Usually rmmod prints messages only if something goes
wrong.
-f --force
This option can be extremely dangerous: it has
no effect unless CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was
compiled. With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or
which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe (see
lsmod(8)).
-w --wait
Normally, rmmod will refuse to unload
modules which are in use. With this option, rmmod will isolate the
module, and wait until the module is no longer used. Nothing new will be able
to use the module, but it's up to you to make sure the current users
eventually finish with it. See lsmod(8)) for information on usage
counts.
-s --syslog
Send errors to syslog instead of standard
error.
-V --version
Show version of program and exit.
