    NAME
           rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
    
    SYNOPSIS
           rmmod [-f] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
    
    DESCRIPTION
           rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading
           support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use
           modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.
    
    OPTIONS
           -v, --verbose
               Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually rmmod
               prints messages only if something goes wrong.
    
           -f, --force
               This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless
               CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled.
               With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or
               which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe
               (see lsmod(8)).
    
           -s, --syslog
               Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
    
           -V --version
               Show version of program and exit.
