.Dd June 15, 2001 .Dt KLDCONFIG 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm kldconfig .Nd display or modify the kernel module search path .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl dfimnUv .Op Fl S Ar sysctlname .Op Ar path ... .Nm .Fl r .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility displays or modifies the search path used by the kernel when loading modules using the .Xr kldload 8 utility or the .Xr kldload 2 syscall.
p The following options are available: l -tag -width indent t Fl d Remove the specified paths from the module search path. t Fl f Do not display a diagnostic message if a path specified for adding is already present in the search path, or if a path specified for removing is not present in the search path. This may be useful in startup/shutdown scripts for adding a path to a file system which is still not mounted, or in shutdown scripts for unconditionally removing a path that may have been added during startup. t Fl i Add the specified paths to the beginning of the search path, not to the end. This option can only be used when adding paths. t Fl m Instead of replacing the module search path with the set of paths specified, .Dq merge in the new entries. t Fl n Do not actually change the module search path. t Fl r Display the current search path. This option cannot be used if any paths are also specified. t Fl S Ar sysctlname Specify the sysctl name to use instead of the default .Va kern.module_path . t Fl U .Dq Unique-ify the current search path - if any of the directories is repeated one or more times, only the first occurrence remains. This option implies .Fl m . t Fl v Verbose output: display the new module search path. If the path has been changed, and the .Fl v flag is specified more than once, the old path is displayed as well. .El .Sh FILES l -tag -width indent t Pa /boot/kernel , /boot/modules , /modules The default module search path used by the kernel. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kldload 2 , .Xr kldload 8 , .Xr sysctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Fx 4.4 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Peter Pentchev Aq roam@FreeBSD.org
