.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm lkm.conf
|
|
.Nd loadable kernel module configuration file.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file specifies loadable kernel modules, see
|
|
.Xr lkm 4 ,
|
|
that are to be loaded a boot time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file
|
|
is processed by
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.lkm
|
|
at system boot time, if it exists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line of the file is of the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
|
|
path options entry postinstall output when
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Except for the
|
|
.Em path ,
|
|
all other fields can be "-" to indicate empty.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em path
|
|
is either an absolute pathname, or the name of a file in
|
|
.Pa /lkm
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /usr/lkm
|
|
that is the LKM to be loaded.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em options
|
|
is some combination of the -d and -v options to
|
|
.Xr modload 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em entry
|
|
is the C symbol to call to initialise the module, defaulting to
|
|
.Fn xxxinit .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em postinstall
|
|
script is run after the LKM is installed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output of the
|
|
.Xr ld 1
|
|
command is stored in
|
|
.Em output .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em when
|
|
field specifies at which time in the startup process the LKM is loaded.
|
|
There are three predefined values which correspond to three points in
|
|
the processing of the system startup script
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXX
|
|
.It BEFORENET - before networking is started. This works only
|
|
if the
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
filesystem can already be mounted at this time.
|
|
.It BEFOREMOUNT - before all filesystems listed in
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
are mounted (the
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /var
|
|
filesystems are already present).
|
|
.It AFTERMOUNT - after all filesystems are mounted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A "-" entry defaults to BEFORENET.
