The kldload utility loads file.ko into the kernel using the kernel
linker. Note that if multiple modules are specified then an attempt will
be made to load them all, even if some fail.
The following option is available:
-v Be more verbose.
FILES
/boot/modules directory containing loadable modules. Modules must have
an extension of .ko.
EXIT STATUS
The kldload utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
AUTOMATICALLY LOADING MODULES
Some modules (ipfw, ipf, etc.) may be automatically loaded at boot time
by having their operation enabled in rc.conf(5). Modules may also be
auto-loaded through their addition to loader.conf(5).
