NAME

6       rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rmmod [-f] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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.
