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The rem_drv command informs the system that the device driver device_driver is no longer valid.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)).
