NAME
  kloadsrv - Kernel load server

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/kloadsrv [-f] [-d debug-level] [-log logfile] [-p kernel-package-
  name] [kernel-object-filename]

FLAGS
  -f	    Causes kloadsrv to remain in the foreground.

  -d debug-level
	    Specifies the level of debugging information.  The debug-level is
	    a small integer.  Zero disables debugging.	Nonzero values from
	    one to higher levels cause kloadsrv to display various log
	    messages.

  -log logfile
	    Specifies that the debugging information is to be sent to the
	    specified log file. Logfile should be specified as a full
	    pathname.  By default, the debugging information is sent to
	    /dev/console.

  -p kernel-package-name
	    Specifies the name of the default kernel package.

DESCRIPTION
  The kloadsrv command is the kernel load server responsible for loading
  kernel modules into the kernel.  It is typically started during system
  startup.  If you omit the kernel-object-filename from the startup command
  line, the kloadsrv daemon uses the running kernel.

  During its initialization, kloadsrv builds a list of kernel symbols that
  device drivers can use.  Moving or overwriting the kernel object file in
  single user mode can cause this list of symbols to contain inaccurate
  addresses.  The addresses in the list reflect the addresses in the new
  kernel, rather than the addresses in the booted kernel.

  Each symbol exported by the kernel belongs to the kernel package.  This
  package is named kernel, unless you use the -p flag.

  Once kloadsrv has successfully initialized itself, it puts itself into the
  background and enters its server loop, where it waits to receive and
  respond to load requests, unload requests, and query requests.  If you
  specify the -f flag, the command remains in the foreground.
