RMMOD(8) "kmod" "rmmod"

# 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.
