NAME
kldunload – unload a file from the kernel
SYNOPSIS
kldunload [-fv] -i id ...
kldunload [-fv] [-n] name ...
DESCRIPTION
The kldunload utility unloads a file which was previously loaded with kldload(8).
The following options are available:
- -f

- -v
-
Be more verbose.
- -i id
-
Unload the file with this ID.
- -n name
-
Unload the file with this name.
- name

Unload the file with this name.
EXIT STATUS
The kldunload utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
