kloadsrv(8) System Manager's Manual kloadsrv(8) NAME kloadsrv - Kernel load server SYNOPSIS /sbin/kloadsrv [-f] [-d debug-level] [-log logfile] [-p kernel-package- name] [kernel-object-filename] FLAGS Causes kloadsrv to remain in the foreground. Specifies the level of debugging information. The debug-level is a small integer. Zero dis- ables debugging. Nonzero values from one to higher levels cause kload- srv to display various log messages. Specifies that the debugging in- formation is to be sent to the specified log file. Logfile should be specified as a full pathname. By default, the debugging information is sent to /dev/console. Specifies the name of the default kernel pack- age. DESCRIPTION The kloadsrv command is the kernel load server responsible for loading kernel modules into the kernel. It is typically started during system startup. If you omit the kernel-object-filename from the startup com- mand line, the kloadsrv daemon uses the running kernel. During its initialization, kloadsrv builds a list of kernel symbols that device drivers can use. Moving or overwriting the kernel object file in single user mode can cause this list of symbols to contain in- accurate addresses. The addresses in the list reflect the addresses in the new kernel, rather than the addresses in the booted kernel. Each symbol exported by the kernel belongs to the kernel package. This package is named kernel, unless you use the -p flag. Once kloadsrv has successfully initialized itself, it puts itself into the background and enters its server loop, where it waits to receive and respond to load requests, unload requests, and query requests. If you specify the -f flag, the command remains in the foreground. RELATED INFORMATION Commands: cfgmgr(8), sysconfig(8), sysconfigdb(8) delim off kloadsrv(8)
