NAME

6       ksplice-apply - Apply an on-disk Ksplice update to the running kernel
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ksplice-apply [OPTIONS] {UPDATE_TARBALL | UPDATE_TREE}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ksplice-apply takes as input a Ksplice update, as generated by
13       ksplice-create(8), and it applies the update to the running binary
14       kernel.  The update may be supplied in the form of a tarball or an
15       unpacked tree.
16
17       The update is required to have been generated for the running kernel's
18       version.
19

OPTIONS

21       --debug Applies the update with debugging output enabled.  Recommended
22               only for debugging.
23
24       --debugfile=filename
25               Sets the location where debugging output should be saved.
26               Implies --debug.
27
28       --partial
29               Applies the update only to those modules which are loaded.  Any
30               modules patched by the update that are not loaded are ignored
31               (without this option, Ksplice aborts if any modules patched by
32               the update are not loaded).
33
34       --raw-errors
35               Print only raw error information designed to be machine-
36               readable on standard error (standard output is still intended
37               to be human-readable).  If ksplice-apply fails due to an error
38               from the Ksplice kernel modules, the first line on standard
39               error will be a Ksplice abort code (see the Ksplice source code
40               for documentation on these codes).  Further lines will vary
41               depending on the abort code.  If ksplice-apply fails for any
42               other reason, it will output the line "OTHER\n", followed by a
43               human-readable failure message, to standard error.
