kldconfig —
display or modify the kernel module search path
kldconfig |
[-dfimnUv] [-S
sysctlname] [path ...] |
The kldconfig utility displays or modifies
the search path used by the kernel when loading modules using the
kldload(8) utility or
the kldload(2)
syscall.
The following options are available:
-d- Remove the specified paths from the module search path.
-f- Do not display a diagnostic message if a path specified for adding is
already present in the search path, or if a path specified for removing is
not present in the search path. This may be useful in startup/shutdown
scripts for adding a path to a file system which is still not mounted, or
in shutdown scripts for unconditionally removing a path that may have been
added during startup.
-i- Add the specified paths to the beginning of the search path, not to the
end. This option can only be used when adding paths.
-m- Instead of replacing the module search path with the set of paths
specified, “merge” in the new entries.
-n- Do not actually change the module search path.
-r- Display the current search path. This option cannot be used if any paths
are also specified.
-S
sysctlname- Specify the sysctl name to use instead of the default
kern.module_path.
-U- “Unique-ify” the current search path - if any of the
directories is repeated one or more times, only the first occurrence
remains. This option implies
-m.
-v- Verbose output: display the new module search path. If the path has been
changed, and the
-v flag is specified more than
once, the old path is displayed as well.
- /boot/kernel,
/boot/modules, /modules
- The default module search path used by the kernel.
The kldconfig utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
The kldconfig utility first appeared in
FreeBSD 4.4.
