| <title>DESCRIPTION</title> |
| |
| <para><command>insmod</command> is a trivial program to insert a |
| module into the kernel: if the |
| <replaceable>filename</replaceable> is a hyphen, the module is |
| taken from standard input. Most users will want to use |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle> |
| <manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> instead, which is |
| more clever and can handle module dependencies.</para> |
| |
| <para>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 <command>dmesg</command> usually gives more information |
| about errors.</para> |
