+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+intelligently adds or removes a module from the Linux kernel: note that for convenience, there is no difference between _ and \- in module names (automatic underscore conversion is performed)\&.
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+looks in the module directory
+/lib/modules/`uname \-r`
+for all the modules and other files, except for the optional configuration files in the
+/etc/modprobe\&.d
+directory (see
+\fBmodprobe.d\fR(5))\&.
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+will also use module options specified on the kernel command line in the form of <module>\&.<option> and blacklists in the form of modprobe\&.blacklist=<module>\&.
+.PP
+Note that unlike in 2\&.4 series Linux kernels (which are not supported by this tool) this version of
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+does not do anything to the module itself: the work of resolving symbols and understanding parameters is done inside the kernel\&. So module failure is sometimes accompanied by a kernel message: see
+\fBdmesg\fR(8)\&.
+.PP
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+expects an up\-to\-date
+modules\&.dep\&.bin
+file as generated by the corresponding
+\fBdepmod\fR
+utility shipped along with
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+(see
+\fBdepmod\fR(8))\&. This file lists what other modules each module needs (if any), and
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+uses this to add or remove these dependencies automatically\&.
+.PP
+If any arguments are given after the
+\fImodulename\fR, they are passed to the kernel (in addition to any options listed in the configuration file)\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR
+.RS 4
+Insert all module names on the command line\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-use\-blacklist\fR
+.RS 4
+This option causes
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+to apply the
+\fBblacklist\fR
+commands in the configuration files (if any) to module names as well\&. It is usually used by
+\fBudev\fR(7)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR
+.RS 4
+This option overrides the default configuration directory (/etc/modprobe\&.d)\&.
+.sp
+This option is passed through
+\fBinstall\fR
+or
+\fBremove\fR
+commands to other
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+commands in the MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-showconfig\fR
+.RS 4
+Dump out the effective configuration from the config directory and exit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-dump\-modversions\fR
+.RS 4
+Print out a list of module versioning information required by a module\&. This option is commonly used by distributions in order to package up a Linux kernel module using module versioning deps\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-dirname\fR
+.RS 4
+Root directory for modules,
+/
+by default\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-first\-time\fR
+.RS 4
+Normally,
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+will succeed (and do nothing) if told to insert a module which is already present or to remove a module which isn\*(Aqt present\&. This is ideal for simple scripts; however, more complicated scripts often want to know whether
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+really did something: this option makes modprobe fail in the case that it actually didn\*(Aqt do anything\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-force\-vermagic\fR
+.RS 4
+Every module contains a small string containing important information, such as the kernel and compiler versions\&. If a module fails to load and the kernel complains that the "version magic" doesn\*(Aqt match, you can use this option to remove it\&. Naturally, this check is there for your protection, so using this option is dangerous unless you know what you\*(Aqre doing\&.
+.sp
+This applies to any modules inserted: both the module (or alias) on the command line and any modules on which it depends\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-force\-modversion\fR
+.RS 4
+When modules are compiled with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, a section detailing the versions of every interfaced used by (or supplied by) the module is created\&. If a module fails to load and the kernel complains that the module disagrees about a version of some interface, you can use "\-\-force\-modversion" to remove the version information altogether\&. Naturally, this check is there for your protection, so using this option is dangerous unless you know what you\*(Aqre doing\&.
+.sp
+This applies any modules inserted: both the module (or alias) on the command line and any modules on which it depends\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR
+.RS 4
+Try to strip any versioning information from the module which might otherwise stop it from loading: this is the same as using both
+\fB\-\-force\-vermagic\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-force\-modversion\fR\&. Naturally, these checks are there for your protection, so using this option is dangerous unless you know what you are doing\&.
+.sp
+This applies to any modules inserted: both the module (or alias) on the command line and any modules it on which it depends\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-install\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-remove\fR
+.RS 4
+This option causes
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+to ignore
+\fBinstall\fR
+and
+\fBremove\fR
+commands in the configuration file (if any) for the module specified on the command line (any dependent modules are still subject to commands set for them in the configuration file)\&. Both
+\fBinstall\fR
+and
+\fBremove\fR
+commands will currently be ignored when this option is used regardless of whether the request was more specifically made with only one or other (and not both) of
+\fB\-\-ignore\-install\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-ignore\-remove\fR\&. See
+\fBmodprobe.d\fR(5)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-dry\-run\fR, \fB\-\-show\fR
+.RS 4
+This option does everything but actually insert or delete the modules (or run the install or remove commands)\&. Combined with
+\fB\-v\fR, it is useful for debugging problems\&. For historical reasons both
+\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-show\fR
+actually mean the same thing and are interchangeable\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
+.RS 4
+With this flag,
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+won\*(Aqt print an error message if you try to remove or insert a module it can\*(Aqt find (and isn\*(Aqt an alias or
+\fBinstall\fR/\fBremove\fR
+command)\&. However, it will still return with a non\-zero exit status\&. The kernel uses this to opportunistically probe for modules which might exist using request_module\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-resolve\-alias\fR
+.RS 4
+Print all module names matching an alias\&. This can be useful for debugging module alias problems\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-remove\fR
+.RS 4
+This option causes
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+to remove rather than insert a module\&. If the modules it depends on are also unused,
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+will try to remove them too\&. Unlike insertion, more than one module can be specified on the command line (it does not make sense to specify module parameters when removing modules)\&.
+.sp
+There is usually no reason to remove modules, but some buggy modules require it\&. Your distribution kernel may not have been built to support removal of modules at all\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-wait=\fRTIMEOUT_MSEC
+.RS 4
+This option causes
+\fBmodprobe \-r\fR
+to continue trying to remove a module if it fails due to the module being busy, i\&.e\&. its refcount is not 0 at the time the call is made\&. Modprobe tries to remove the module with an incremental sleep time between each tentative up until the maximum wait time in milliseconds passed in this option\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-set\-version\fR
+.RS 4
+Set the kernel version, rather than using
+\fBuname\fR(2)
+to decide on the kernel version (which dictates where to find the modules)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-show\-depends\fR
+.RS 4
+List the dependencies of a module (or alias), including the module itself\&. This produces a (possibly empty) set of module filenames, one per line, each starting with "insmod" and is typically used by distributions to determine which modules to include when generating initrd/initramfs images\&.
+\fBInstall\fR
+commands which apply are shown prefixed by "install"\&. It does not run any of the install commands\&. Note that
+\fBmodinfo\fR(8)
+can be used to extract dependencies of a module from the module itself, but knows nothing of aliases or install commands\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-syslog\fR
+.RS 4
+This option causes any error messages to go through the syslog mechanism (as LOG_DAEMON with level LOG_NOTICE) rather than to standard error\&. This is also automatically enabled when stderr is unavailable\&.
+.sp
+This option is passed through
+\fBinstall\fR
+or
+\fBremove\fR
+commands to other
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+commands in the MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+.RS 4
+Show version of program and exit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
+.RS 4
+Print messages about what the program is doing\&. Usually
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+only prints messages if something goes wrong\&.
+.sp
+This option is passed through
+\fBinstall\fR
+or
+\fBremove\fR
+commands to other
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+commands in the MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable\&.
+.RE
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.PP
+The MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable can also be used to pass arguments to
+\fBmodprobe\fR\&.
