      RRmmmmoodd unloads loadable modules from the running kernel.

      RRmmmmoodd  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  simultansously.   This  supports
      unloading of stacked modules.

  OOPPTTIIOONNSS
      _-_a     Remove all unused modules.

      _-_s     Output  everything to ssyysslloogg(3) instead of the ter-
             minal.
