NAME

6       insmod - simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel
7

SYNOPSIS

9       insmod [ filename ]  [ module options... ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       insmod  is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel: if the
13       filename is a hyphen, the module is taken  from  standard  input.  Most
14       users will want to use modprobe(8) instead, which is more clever.
15
16       Only  the  most  general of error messages are reported: as the work of
17       trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg usu‐
18       ally gives more information about errors.
