NAME
rmmod- Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
SYNOPSIS
rmmod [OPTIONS] [list of modulenames]
DESCRIPTION
rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module or a list of modules from the
kernel (when module unloading support is provided). Most users will want to use
modprobe(8) with the -r option instead since it removes unused dependent
modules as well.
When a list of modules is provided, the program will process them one at a time.
If a module is not found, rmmod will immediately exit with an error code.
Should the module removal fail, the program will log an error AND continue with
the next module. This behaviour is NOT controlled by the -force option.
OPTIONS
-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)).
-s, -syslog
-
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
-v, -verbose
-
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually rmmod prints
messages only if something goes wrong.
-V, -version
-
Show version of program and exit.
-h, -help
-
Print the help message and exit.
