49 | <para> | |
50 | <command>rmmod</command> is a trivial program to remove a module (when | |
51 | module unloading support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will | |
52 | want to use | |
53 | <citerefentry> | |
54 | <refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum> | |
55 | </citerefentry> with the <option>-r</option> option instead. | |

85 | This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless | |
86 | CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. | |
87 | With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or | |
88 | which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe | |
89 | (see <citerefentry> | |
90 | <refentrytitle>lsmod</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum> | |
91 | </citerefentry>). | |
