Hi All,

Will somebody explained me what exactly the option -a will do when used for
rmmod command?
'rmmod -h' didn't show any information regarding this option.


A snip from "man rmmod":

OPTIONS
      -a --all
             Do  autoclean:  tag  unused  modules  as "to be
cleaned", and also remove already tagged
             modules.  Modules stay tagged if they stay unused since
previous autoclean.   These  two
             passes avoid removing transiently unused modules.
