RMMOD(8)							       rmmod								  RMMOD(8)

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.

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.
