Maintenance Commands                                  rem_drv(1M)

NAME
     rem_drv - remove a device driver from the system

SYNOPSIS
     rem_drv [ -b basedir ]  device_driver

DESCRIPTION
     The  rem_drv command informs  the  system  that  the  device
     driver  device_driver  is  no  longer  valid.  If  possible,
     rem_drv unloads device_driver from memory.  Entries for  the
     device  in the  /devices namespace are removed. rem_drv also
     updates the system driver configuration files.

     If  rem_drv has been executed, the next time the  system  is
     rebooted  it  will  automatically  perform a reconfiguration
     boot (see kernel(1M)).

OPTIONS
     -b basedir
           Sets the path to the root directory  of  the  diskless
           client.   Used on the server to execute  rem_drv for a
           client.  The client machine must be rebooted to unload
           the driver.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Examples of rem_drv.

     The following example removes the  sd driver from use:

     example% rem_drv sd

     The next example removes the driver from the  sun1  diskless
     client.  The  driver  will  not  be uninstalled nor unloaded
     until the  client machine is rebooted.

     example% rem_drv -b /export/root/sun1 sd
