Overview
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
