Name
rmmod
Synopsis
rmmod [options]modules
System administration command. Unload a module or list of modules from the kernel. This command is successful only if the specified modules are not in use and no other modules are dependent on them. This simplified program provides some backward compatibility. In general, use modprobe -r instead.
Options
- -s, --syslog
Write messages to syslogd instead of to the terminal.
- -v, --verbose
Verbose mode.
- -V, --version
Print version number, then exit.
- -w, --wait
If module is in use, disable it so no new processes can use it. Remove the module when it is no longer in use.
