NAME

SYNOPSIS
       kdstat

       kdstat [keep|nokeep]
       kdstat flush
       kdstat delay=<time>

DESCRIPTION
       This manual package describes kdstat , a program  used  to
       debug  kerneld.  You  can  use it to view (and change) the
       internal state of a running kerneld.

OPTIONS
       When run, kdstat always displays the current state of ker-
       neld.  Given  the  proper options it can do much more. All
       legal options are explained below.

       debug, nodebug
              Turn kerneld debugging mode on or  off.  If  turned
              on,  kerneld  displays what it is doing on the con-
              sole.

       keep, nokeep
              Turn keeping of modules on or off.  If  turned  off
              (the  default), modules are unloaded when they have
              not been used for  a  while.  See  delay  for  more
              information about the timeout used.

       flush  Flush  the  IPC  message queue used to communicatie
              with kerneld

       delay=<time>
              Change the timeout kerneld waits before removing  a
              module from the kernel.
