idmodload(1M)                                          idmodload(1M)


       NAME
             idmodload - load configured loadable kernel modules

       SYNOPSIS
             /etc/conf/bin/idmodload [-r root] [-f modlist] [-#]

       DESCRIPTION
             One of the Installable Driver Tools (idtools) for kernel
             configuration, idmodload loads all the configured loadable
             kernel modules listed in /etc/loadmods, or in another file as
             specified with the -f option.  A kernel module is considered
             to be configured if one or more entries in the module's
             sdevice file contains the value Y in the configure field.  The
             /etc/loadmods file has the same format as /etc/mod_register
             file [see idmodreg(1M)].

             The idmodload command is executed automatically [by init(1M)]
             on every system reboot in sysinit state.  This command is not
             intended to be executed directly and may be changed or
             eliminated in a future release.

          Options
             idmodload takes the following options:

             -f modlist
                       Load all the configured loadable kernel modules
                       listed in modlist, instead of the default file,
                       /etc/loadmods.

             -r root   Use all the configuration information under the root
                       directory, instead of the default directory,
                       /etc/conf.

             -#        Print debugging information.

          Errors
             An exit value of zero indicates success.  If an error occurs,
             an error message is reported for each error, and the command
             exits with a return value of 1.  If the error is a failure in
             loading a module, an error message with the module name and
             module type is included with the error message, then the
             command continues processing the other modules listed in
             /etc/loadmods.
