Introduction<\/h2>\n

rmmod command is used to remove modules from the Linux Kernel. As well as modprobe, rmmod is a part of kmod.<\/p>\n

But in most cases, you should use modprobe -r instead of rmmod because it has a stronger impact without any dependencies.<\/p>\n

This article will show you how to use the rmmod command in Linux as we go through below.<\/p>\n

The syntax of rmmod command<\/h2>\n

To remove a Linux kernel module, run rmmod <\/strong>provided you are root user.<\/p>\n

$ rmmod [options] module_name<\/pre>\n
[options]<\/strong><\/p>\n
-v, –verbose <\/strong> show information<\/p>\n
-f, –force<\/strong> remove modules that is being used or not designer to be removed<\/p>\n
-w, –wait<\/strong> isolate module and wait until module is longer in use<\/p>\n
-s, –syslog <\/strong> send errors to syslog instead of to the terminal<\/p>\n
-V, –version <\/strong> show rmmod\u2019s version information, and exit<\/p>\n
You can use lsmod command to check which modules are already loaded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, I will try to remove aesni_intel <\/strong>module by rmmod:<\/p>\n
$ sudo rmmod -f aesni_intel<\/pre>\n
Use the lsmod command to check if nfit<\/strong> is removed:<\/p>\n
$ lsmod | grep aesni_intel<\/pre>\n
If aesni_intel <\/strong>is removed, nothing will show up anymore:<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
rmmod<\/strong> also accepts deleting multiple modules:<\/p>\n
$ rmmod module_name1 module_name2<\/pre>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
You\u2019ve already gone through the details of how to remove modules by rmmod from the Linux kernel.<\/p>\n
