Kernel modules allow the system administrator to dynamically add and
|
||
|
|
remove functionality from a running system. This ability also helps
|
||
|
|
software developers to develop new parts of the kernel without constantly
|
||
|
|
rebooting to test their changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides the necessary utilities for using kernel modules on
|
||
|
|
NetBSD 5.x.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The modload utility loads a kernel module specified by the module parameter
|
||
|
|
into the running system. The modunload utility unloads a loadable kernel
|
||
|
|
module from a running system. The modstat utility displays the status of
|
||
|
|
any kernel modules present in the kernel.
