INSMOD(8) insmod INSMOD(8)
insmod - Simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel
insmod [filename] [module options...]
insmod is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel. Most
users will want to use modprobe(8) instead, which is more clever and
can handle module dependencies.
Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of
trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg
usually gives more information about errors.
