.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility loads
|
|
.Ar file Ns Pa .ko
|
|
into the kernel using the kernel linker.
|
|
Note that if multiple modules are specified then an attempt will
|
|
be made to load them all, even if some fail.
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa .ko
|
|
extension name is not mandatory when loading a given module
|
|
using
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
It does not hurt to specify it though.

.Sh AUTOMATICALLY LOADING MODULES
|
|
Some modules (lomac, pf, ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded at boot
|
|
time when the corresponding
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
statement is used.
|
|
Modules may also be auto-loaded through their addition to
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 .
