system call to load and unload the module in kernel


Dear all,

I want to load/unload a kernel module. I know the linux commands for it, but I want to do that using system calls in my c code. I am able to unload the module by using "delete_module" but i am not able to load it.

could you please tell me how to do it.

kindly waiting for your reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Sharad.

I think create_module is deprecated in favor of init_module (see “man 2 init_module”).

Code:
./adore.c:int init_module(void)
./adore.h:/* assigned by init_module */
...and right you are...
