17 This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless | |
18 CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. | |
19 With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or | |
20 which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe. | |
21 .It Fl w | |
22 Normally, | |
23 .Nm | |
24 will refuse to unload modules which are in | |
25 use. With this option, | |
26 .Nm | |
27 will isolate the module, and wait until the module is no longer used. No… | |
28 new will be able to use the module, but it's up to you to make sure the | |
29 current users eventually finish with it. | |
