Is there a public interface to load a kernel module from user space?
Looking at the modload source, it seems to use the modctl() system call
but I see no man page for that.
I thought that Solaris does not need this because drivers are loaded
automatically when the device is opened. What kind of usecase do you have in
mind?
That was going to be exactly my response as well Joerg, so like you I'm
not sure why Solaris would actually need this.
Is it because these kernel modules would be 'misc' modules with no other
kernel module depending on them and no path_to_inst entry binding it to
a hardware instance ?
Basically I think we are missing the context here.
