- Gah, kmod insmod can't load from stdin anymore. :/
- What's the use case?
- zcat module.ko.gz | insmod - (but the new insmod apparently can load .gz fine)
- yes... just insmod module.ko.gz
- and actually insmod(8) says it works. :)
Not anymore...
<refsect1><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
+ the kernel. Most users will want to use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> instead, which is more clever
and can handle module dependencies.
