idmodload(1M)

idmodload -- load configured loadable kernel modules

Synopsis

/etc/conf/bin/idmodload [-r root] [-f modlist] [-#]

Description

One of the Installable Driver Tools (idtools) for kernel configuration, idmodload loads all the configured loadable kernel modules listed in /etc/loadmods, or in another file as specified with the -f option. A kernel module is considered to be configured if one or more entries in the module's sdevice file contains the value Y in the ``configure'' field.

The idmodload command is executed automatically (by init(1M)) on every system reboot in sysinit state. This command is not intended to be executed directly and may be changed or eliminated in a future release.

Options

idmodload takes the following options:

-f modlist: load all the configured loadable kernel modules listed in modlist, instead of the default file, /etc/loadmods
-r root: use all the configuration information under the root directory, instead of the default directory, /etc/conf
-#: print debugging information

Exit codes

An exit value of zero indicates success. If an error occurs, an error message is reported for each error, and the command exits with a return value of 1. If the error is a failure in loading a module, an error message with the module name and module type is included with the error message, then the command continues processing the other modules listed in /etc/loadmods.
