10
12 rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading
13 support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use
14 modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.
15
17 -v, --verbose
18 Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually rmmod
19 prints messages only if something goes wrong.
20
21 -f, --force
22 This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless
23 CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled.
24 With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or
25 which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe
26 (see lsmod(8)).
27
28 -s, --syslog
29 Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
30
31 -V --version
32 Show version of program and exit.
