KLDLOAD(2)		    BSD	System Calls Manual		    KLDLOAD(2)

NAME
     kldload --	load KLD files into the	kernel

LIBRARY
     Standard C	Library	(libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/linker.h>

     int
     kldload(const char	*file);

DESCRIPTION
     The kldload() system call loads a kld file	into the kernel	using the ker-
     nel linker.

RETURN VALUES
     The kldload() system call returns the fileid of the kld file which	was
     loaded into the kernel.  If an error occurs, kldload() will return	-1 and
     set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     [EPERM]		You do not have	access to read the file	or link	it
			with the kernel.  You should be	the root user to be
			able to	use the	kld system calls.

     [EFAULT]		Bad address encountered	when adding kld	info into the
			kernel space.

     [ENOMEM]		There is no memory to load the file into the kernel.

     [ENOENT]		The file was not found.

     [ENOEXEC]		The file format	of file	was unrecognized.
