Kernel modules automatic probing utility.
So far it seems there is limited number players in field for loading kernel modules:
- systemd -- embeds own modules loading service
- kmod -- non-systemd solution, big and feature-rich
- kmodloader -- OpenWRT lightweith solution as part of ubox
Motivation to create yet another one, is the need for lightweight solution for embedded systems which could work with pre-built module.dep. Typical case for yocto based lightweight distros. This utility addresses just that use case.
- Load configured modules
- Load all installed modules
- Unload all loaded modules
