RMMOD(8) rmmod RMMOD(8)
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
rmmod [-f] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
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 since it
removes unused dependent modules as well.
-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.
