|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
\fBrmmod\fR [\fB-fw\fR] \fImodule...\fR
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
\fBrmmod\fR removes one or more modules from the kernel.
|
||
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fB-f\fR
|
||
|
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.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fB-w\fR
|
||
|
Normally, \fBrmmod\fR will refuse to unload modules which are in
|
||
|
use. With this option, \fBrmmod\fR will isolate the module, and
|
||
|
wait until the module is no longer used. Noone new will be
|
||
|
able to use the module, but s up to you to make sure the
|
||
|
current users eventually finish with it.
