insmod(8) insmod(8)
NAME
insmod — simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel
SYNOPSIS
insmod [filename] [module options ...]
DESCRIPTION
insmod is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel: if the filename is
a hyphen, the module is taken from standard input. Most users will want to use mod-
probe(8) instead, which is cleverer.
Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of trying to link
the module is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg usually gives more information
about errors.
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
This version of insmod is for kernels 2.5.48 and above. If it detects a kernel
with support for old-style modules (for which much of the work was done in
userspace), it will attempt to run insmod.old in its place, so it is completely
transparent to the user.
