  <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      <command>rmmod</command> is a trivial program to remove a module (when
      module unloading support is provided) from the kernel.  Most users will
      want to use
      <citerefentry>
        <refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
      </citerefentry> with the <option>-r</option> option instead.
    </para>

        <listitem>
          <para>
            Print messages about what the program is doing.
            Usually <command>rmmod</command> prints messages
            only if something goes wrong.

          <para>
            This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless
            CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled.
            With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or
            which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe
            (see <citerefentry>
              <refentrytitle>lsmod</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
            </citerefentry>).

        <listitem>
          <para>
            Normally, <command>rmmod</command> will refuse to unload modules
            which are in use.  With this option, <command>rmmod</command> will
            isolate the module, and wait until the module is no longer used.
            Nothing new will be able to use the module, but it's up to you to
            make sure the current users eventually finish with it.  See
            <citerefentry>
              <refentrytitle>lsmod</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
            </citerefentry>) for information on usage counts.
