Crate likemod

A pure-Rust library to work with Linux kernel modules.

It provides support for loading and unloading kernel modules on Linux. For further details, see init_module(2) and delete_module(2) manpages.

use likemod;

fn load_modfile(fpath: &std::path::Path) -> Result<()> {
    // Get a file descriptor to the kernel module object.
    let fmod = std::fs::File::open(fpath)?;

    // Assemble module parameters for loading.
    let mut params = likemod::ModParams::new();
    params.insert("bus_delay".to_string(), likemod::ModParamValue::Int(5));

    // Try to load the module. It can fail if the kernel
    // version and signature don't match.
    let loader = likemod::ModLoader::default().set_parameters(params);
    loader.load_module_file(&fmod)
}
