Linux modprobe command

The Linux modprobe command is used to automatically handle loadable modules.

modprobe can load a specified individual module, or load a group of dependent modules. modprobe determines which modules to load based on the dependency relationships generated by depmod. If an error occurs during the loading process, modprobe will unload the entire group of modules.
