NAME
rmmod - unload loadable modules
SYNOPSIS
rmmod [ -r ] module ...
DESCRIPTION
Rmmod unloads loadable modules from the kernel.
Rmmod tries to unload a set of modules from the kernel,
with the restriction that they are not in use and that
they are not referred to by other modules.
If more than one module is named on the command line, the
modules will be removed in the given order. This supports
unloading of stacked modules.
With the option '-r' a recursive removal of modules will
be attempted. This means that if a top module in a stack
is named on the command line, all modules that are used by
this module will be removed as well, if possible.
