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      driver  device_driver  is  no  longer  valid.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
