KLDCONFIG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual KLDCONFIG(8)NAME
kldconfig — display or modify the kernel module search path
SYNOPSIS
kldconfig [-dfimnUv] [-S sysctlname] [path ...]
kldconfig -r
DESCRIPTION
The kldconfig utility displays or modifies the search path used by the
kernel when loading modules using the kldload(8) utility or the
kldload(2) syscall.
The following options are available:
-d Remove the specified paths from the module search path.
-f Do not display a diagnostic message if a path specified for
adding is already present in the search path, or if a path speci‐
fied for removing is not present in the search path. This may be
useful in startup/shutdown scripts for adding a path to a file
system which is still not mounted, or in shutdown scripts for
unconditionally removing a path that may have been added during
startup.
-i Add the specified paths to the beginning of the search path, not
to the end. This option can only be used when adding paths.
-m Instead of replacing the module search path with the set of paths
specified, “merge” in the new entries.
-n Do not actually change the module search path.
-r Display the current search path. This option cannot be used if
any paths are also specified.
-S sysctlname
Specify the sysctl name to use instead of the default
kern.module_path.
-U “Unique-ify” the current search path - if any of the directories
is repeated one or more times, only the first occurrence remains.
This option implies -m.
-v Verbose output: display the new module search path. If the path
has been changed, and the -v flag is specified more than once,
the old path is displayed as well.
FILES
/boot/kernel, /boot/modules, /modules
The default module search path used by the kernel.
EXIT STATUS
The kldconfig utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
