KLDLOAD(2)		      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
       kernel 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
       The named file is loaded	unless:

       [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.

       [EEXIST]		  The supplied file has	already	been loaded.
