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

NAME
     kldunload -- unload a file from the kernel

SYNOPSIS
     kldunload [-fv] -i id ...
     kldunload [-fv] [-n] name ...

DESCRIPTION
     The kldunload utility unloads a file which was previously loaded with kldload(8).

     The following options are available:

     -f       Force the unload.  This ignores error returns to MOD_QUIESCE from the module and implies that the module should be unloaded even if
	      it is currently in use.  The users are left to cope as best they can.

     -v       Be more verbose.

     -i id    Unload the file with this ID.

     -n name  Unload the file with this name.

     name     Unload the file with this name.

EXIT STATUS
     The kldunload utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
     kldunload(2), kldload(8), kldstat(8)

HISTORY
     The kldunload utility first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0, replacing the lkm interface.
