    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para><command>insmod</command> is a trivial program to insert a
	module into the kernel: if the
	<replaceable>filename</replaceable> is a hyphen, the module is
	taken from standard input. Most users will want to use
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> instead, which is
	more clever and can handle module dependencies.</para>

    <para>Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the
	work of trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel,
	the <command>dmesg</command> usually gives more information
	about errors.</para>
