NAME

rem_drv- Remove a device driver from the system

SYNOPSIS

rem_drv [-b basedir] device_driver

DESCRIPTION

The rem_drv command informs the system that the device driver device_driver is no longer valid. If possible, rem_drv unloads device_driver from memory. Entries for the device in the /devices namespace are removed. rem_drv also updates the system driver configuration files.

If rem_drv has been executed, the next time the system is rebooted it will automatically perform a reconfiguration boot (see kernel(1M)).

OPTIONS

-b basedir

Sets the path to the root directory of the diskless client. Used on the server to execute rem_drv for a client. The client machine must be rebooted to unload the driver.
