Note that if multiple modules are specified then an attempt will be made to load them all, even if some fail. The .Pa .ko extension name is not mandatory when loading a given module using .Nm . It does not hurt to specify it though. .Pp If a bare filename is requested it will only be loaded if it is found within the module path as defined by the sysctl .Va kern.module_path . To load a module from the current directory it must be specified as a full or relative path. The .Nm utility will warn if a module is requested as a bare filename and is present in the current directory. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl n Do not try to load module if already loaded. .It Fl v Be more verbose. .It Fl q Silence any extraneous warnings. .El .Sh NOTES The kernel security level settings may prevent a module from being loaded or unloaded by giving .Em "Operation not permitted" . .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /boot/kernel -compact .It Pa /boot/kernel directory containing loadable modules. Modules must have an extension of .Pa .ko . .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh EXAMPLES To load by module name: .Bd -literal -offset indent \*[Gt] kldload foo .Ed .Pp To load by file name within the module path: .Bd -literal -offset indent \*[Gt] kldload foo.ko .Ed .Pp To load by relative path: .Bd -literal -offset indent \*[Gt] kldload ./foo.ko .Ed .Pp To load by full path: .Bd -literal -offset indent \*[Gt] kldload /boot/kernel/foo.ko .Ed .Sh AUTOMATICALLY LOADING MODULES Some modules (pf, ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded at boot time when the corresponding .Xr rc.conf 5 statement is used. Modules may also be auto-loaded through their addition to .Xr loader.conf 5 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kldload 2 , .Xr loader.conf 5 , .Xr rc.conf 5 , .Xr security 7 , .Xr kldconfig 8 , .Xr kldstat 8 , -.Xr kldunload 8 +.Xr kldunload 8 , +.Xr kldxref 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Fx 3.0 , replacing the .Nm lkm interface. .Sh AUTHORS .An Doug Rabson Aq Mt dfr@FreeBSD.org
