| 14 | python-kmod is a Python wrapper module for libkmod, exposing common |
| 15 | module operations: listing installed modules, modprobe, and rmmod. |

| 20 | Example (python invoked as root) |
| 21 | -------------------------------- |
| 22 | |
| 23 | >>>import kmod |
| 24 | |
| 25 | >>>km = kmod.Kmod() |
| 26 | |
| 27 | >>>km.loaded_modules() |
| 28 | |
| 29 | [('nfs', 407706), |
| 30 | ('nfs_acl', 12741) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ... |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ('virtio_blk', 17549)] |
| 35 | |
| 36 | >>>km.modprobe("btrfs") |
| 37 | |
| 38 | >>>km.rmmod("btrfs") |
