INSMOD(8) "kmod" "insmod"
|
||
|
||
# NAME
|
||
|
||
insmod - Simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel
|
||
|
||
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
||
*insmod* [_OPTIONS_] [_filename_] [_module options_]
|
||
|
||
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
*insmod* is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel. Most users
|
||
will want to use *modprobe*(8) instead, which is more clever and can handle
|
||
module dependencies.
|
||
|
||
Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of trying to
|
||
link the module is now done inside the kernel, the *dmesg*(1) usually gives more
|
||
information about errors.
|
||
|
||
# OPTIONS
|
||
|
||
*-f*, *--force*
|
||
This option can be extremely dangerous: it tells the kernel to ignore
|
||
the module version and vermagic fields when loading. With this option,
|
||
you can load modules build locally or by third parties, although this
|
||
can lead to memory corruption, system crashes and data loss.
|
||
|
||
*-s*, *--syslog*
|
||
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
|
||
|
||
*-v*, *--verbose*
|
||
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually *insmod* prints
|
||
messages only if something goes wrong.
|
||
|
||
*-V*, *--version*
|
||
Show version of program and exit.
|
||
|
||
*-h*, *--help*
|
||
Print the help message and exit.
