KLDLOAD(2)                FreeBSD System Calls Manual               KLDLOAD(2)

NAME

     kldload -- load KLD files into the kernel

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/linker.h>

     int
     kldload(const char *file);

DESCRIPTION

     The kldload() system call loads a kld file into the kernel using the ker-
     nel linker.

RETURN VALUES

     The kldload() system call returns the fileid of the kld file which was
     loaded into the kernel.  If an error occurs, kldload() will return -1 and
     set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The named file is loaded unless:

     [EPERM]            You do not have access to read the file or link it
                        with the kernel.  You should be the root user to be
                        able to use the kld system calls.

     [EFAULT]           Bad address encountered when adding kld info into the
                        kernel space.

     [ENOMEM]           There is no memory to load the file into the kernel.

     [ENOENT]           The file was not found.

     [ENOEXEC]          The file format of file was unrecognized.

     [EEXIST]           The supplied file has already been loaded.
