NAME
request_module - try to load a kernel module
SYNOPSIS
int request_module(const char * fmt, ...);
ARGUMENTS
- fmt
- printf style format string for the name of the module
- ...
- variable arguments
DESCRIPTION
Load a module using the user mode module loader. The function returns
zero on success or a negative errno code on failure. Note that a
successful module load does not mean the module did not then unload and
exit on an error of its own. Callers must check that the service they
requested is now available not blindly invoke it.
If module auto-loading support is disabled then this function becomes a
no-operation.
