NAME
       insmod - simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel

SYNOPSIS
       insmod [ filename ] [ module options ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       insmod  is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel: if the
       filename is a hyphen, the module is taken  from	standard  input.  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 usu‐
       ally gives more information about errors.
