NAME
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux KernelSYNOPSIS
rmmod
[ -f] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
DESCRIPTION
rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.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)).
-s, --syslog
Send errors to syslog instead of standard
error.
-V --version
Show version of program and exit.
