vmmemctl - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmmemctl DESCRIPTION
This is a kernel module. It isn't backed by a virtual hardware device, so it must be loaded manually. It has no dependencies, nor do any Tools components depend on it, so it can be loaded at any time during the boot process. Once loaded, no further action is needed. OPTIONS
vmmemctl has no options. SEE ALSO
