The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl n Ar name"
.It Fl f
Force the unload.
This ignores error returns to
.Dv MOD_QUIESCE
from the module and implies
that the module should be unloaded even if it is currently in use.
The users are left to cope as best they can.
.It Fl v
Be more verbose.
.It Fl i Ar id
Unload the file with this ID.
.It Fl n Ar name
Unload the file with this name.
.It Ar name
Unload the file with this name.

Extend kldunload(8) functionality and fix minor problems: o multiple modules can be unloaded at once (specified either by id or be module name) o exit with EX_USAGE after usage() is called. o remove unused variables, since we keep command line flags as bitmask, in 'opt'. o 'kldload -n ...' does nothing. Add comment to this options. Additionally: o Update manual page to conform new functionality. o Increace WARNS to 6. Because we can.

Give kldunload a -f(orce) argument. Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY) of the module is in use. MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated. When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload. For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as success. Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events. 2004-07-13 19:36:59 +00:00			`.It Fl f`
