Rmmod,modprobe or dracut?

I am making few changes inside modprobe.d directory, now there are two options to make them effective
1) rmmod module, make changes and modprobe module
2) dracut -f
I was wondering what's the difference between two, in terms of result, dracut makes kernel image again though and the other unplug and then plug the changed module.

NAME
insmod - Simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel SYNOPSIS
insmod [filename] [module options...] DESCRIPTION
insmod is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel. Most users will want to use modprobe(8) instead, which is more clever and can handle module dependencies. Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg usually gives more information about errors. COPYRIGHT
