description
insmod
is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel.
Most users will want to use modprobe(8) instead,
which is more clever and can handle module dependencies.
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
dmesg usually gives more information about
errors.
