modload

MODLOAD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						MODLOAD(8)

NAME

     modload -- load a kernel module

SYNOPSIS

     modload [-fP] [-b var=boolean] [-i var=integer] [-s var=string] module
     modload -p [-b var=boolean] [-d var] [-i var=integer] [-m plist] [-s var=string]

DESCRIPTION

     The modload utility loads a kernel module specified by the module parameter into the running system.

     Modules are loaded from the default system module areas unless the module parameter contains a path separator character ('/').

     The options to modload are as follows:

     -b var=boolean   Pass the module a boolean property with the name var.  boolean may be either true or false.

     -d var	      When used in conjuction with -m, delete var from the plist specified.

     -f 	      When a module is loaded, the kernel checks if the module is compatible with the running kernel and will refuse to load mod-
		      ules that are potentially incompatible.  This option disables compatibility checks.  Note: an incompatible module can cause
		      system instability, including data loss or corruption.

		      This option is also required for re-enabling a builtin module that was disabled using modunload(8).

     -i var=integer   Pass the module an integer property with the name var and integral value integer.

     -m plist	      When used in conjuction with -p, merge new options with an existing property list contained in plist.

     -P 	      This option tells the kernel not to load an associated property list.

     -p 	      Output a property list suitable for loading along with a module.	When using this option, you do not need to specify a mod-
		      ule.  Use -m and -d to read and modify an existing property list.

     -s var=string    Pass the module a string property with the name var and string value string.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The modload utility exits with a status of 0 on success and with a nonzero status if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     module(7), modstat(8), modunload(8)

HISTORY

     The modload command was designed to be similar in functionality to the corresponding command in SunOS 4.1.3.
