NAME
       init_module - Initialize a loadable module entry

SYNOPSIS
       long sys_init_module (void *umod, unsigned long len,
			     const char *uargs);

DESCRIPTION
       init_module initializes a loadable module entry given by umod, which is
       indicated  by  the module's init function. The len and uargs values are
       sent to the load_module function, which is utilized by  sys_init_module
       to  get information on the module. The uargs contain any user space ar-
       guments to apply to the module. The len value indicates the size of the
       memory section the module loads into.

RETURN VALUE
       init_module  returns 0 on success; otherwise, it returns one of the er-
       rors listed in the "Errors" section.

ERRORS
       -EPERM The user must have administrator module  modification  capabili-
	      ties.

       -EINTR Only  one module can be loaded at a time. This error is returned
	      if more than one module is attempting to be loaded.
