Somewhat inspired by my selfish use of VIM as man pager. Namely, when there are multiple options on the same line, only the first one gets properly rendered. A good bonus point is that very long instances, like modinfo's legacy "--author, --description ..." look a bit neater now. With this is also more consistently handle short/long options which take an argument. Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com>

RMMOD(8) "kmod" "rmmod"
|
|

# NAME
|
|
|
|
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
*rmmod* [*-f*] [*-s*] [*-v*] [_modulename_]
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
*rmmod* is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading support
|
|
is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use *modprobe*(8) with the
|
|
*-r* option instead since it removes unused dependent modules as well.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
*-v*
|
|
*--verbose*
|
|
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually *rmmod* prints
|
|
messages only if something goes wrong.
|
|
|
|
*-f*
|
|
*--force*
|
|
This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless
|
|
CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. With
|
|
this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or which are
|
|
not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe (see *lsmod*(8)).
|
|
|
|
*-s*
|
|
*--syslog*
|
|
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
|
|
|
|
*-V*
|
|
*--version*
|
|
Show version of program and exit.
