insmod(8)

NAME

   insmod - Simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel

SYNOPSIS

   insmod [filename] [module options...]

DESCRIPTION

   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.
