KLDUNLOAD(8)            FreeBSD System Manager's Manual           KLDUNLOAD(8)

NAME

     kldunload - unload a file from the kernel

SYNOPSIS

     kldunload [-fv] -i id ...
     kldunload [-fv] [-n] name ...

DESCRIPTION

     The kldunload utility unloads a file which was previously loaded with
     kldload(8).

     The following options are available:

     -f         Force the unload.  This ignores error returns to MOD_QUIESCE
                from the module and implies that the module should be unloaded
                even if it is currently in use.  The users are left to cope as
                best they can.

     -v         Be more verbose.

     -i id      Unload the file with this ID.

     -n name    Unload the file with this name.

     name       Unload the file with this name.

EXIT STATUS

     The kldunload utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
