.TH "insmod" "8" 
.SH "NAME" 
insmod \(em simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBinsmod\fP [\fIfilename\fP]  [\fImodule options\fP \&...]  
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
\fBinsmod\fP is a trivial program to insert a 
module into the kernel: if the 
\fIfilename\fP is a hyphen, the module is 
taken from standard input. Most users will want to use 
\fBmodprobe\fP\fB(8)\fP instead, which is 
cleverer. 
.PP 
Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the 
work of trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, 
the \fBdmesg\fP usually gives more information 
about errors. 
.SH "BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY" 
.PP 
This version of \fBinsmod\fP is for kernels 
\fB2.5.48\fP and above.  If it detects a kernel 
with support for old-style modules (for which much of the work 
was done in userspace), it will attempt to run 
\fBinsmod.old\fP in its place, so it is 
completely transparent to the user.
