            "content": "insmod is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel. Most users will want to use\nmodprobe(8) instead, which is more clever and can handle module dependencies.\n\nOnly the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of trying to link the\nmodule is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg usually gives more information about errors.\n",
