|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>rmmod</command> is a trivial program to remove a module (when
|
|
module unloading support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will
|
|
want to use
|
|
<citerefentry>
|
|
<refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry> with the <option>-r</option> option instead.

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 <citerefentry>
|
|
<refentrytitle>lsmod</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry>).
