KLDUNLOAD(2) FreeBSD System Calls Manual KLDUNLOAD(2)
NAME
kldunload, kldunloadf - unload kld files
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/linker.h>
int
kldunload(int fileid);
int
kldunloadf(int fileid, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The kldunload() system call unloads a kld file from the kernel that was
previously linked via kldload(2).
The kldunloadf() system call accepts an additional flags argument, which
may be one of LINKER_UNLOAD_NORMAL, giving the same behavior as
kldunload(), or LINKER_UNLOAD_FORCE, which causes the unload to ignore a
failure to quiesce the module.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The file referred to by fileid is unloaded unless:
[EPERM] You do not have access to unlink the file from the
kernel.
[ENOENT] The file was not found.
[EBUSY] You attempted to unload a file linked by the kernel.
[EINVAL] The kldunloadf() system call was passed invalid flags.
