                     12: drvld loads a loadable  driver into memory.  driver names a load-
                     13: able driver.  Only the superuser root can run drvld.
                     14: 
                     15: A loadable driver is one that  is not linked into the kernel when
                     16: it was built.  The current suite of loadable drivers include mul-
                     17: ti-port serial  cards, various SCSI host  adaptors, and a variety
                     18: of  add-on  cards.   The  COHERENT  drivers  for  shared  memory,
                     19: semaphores, and message  passing are also implemented as loadable
                     20: drivers, due to the efficient size of the COHERENT kernel.
                     21: 
                     22: The  -r  option to  drvld specifies  that any temporary  files it
                     23: creates in directory /tmp should be removed.
                     24: 
                     25: Note that drvld expects to  find its entry in directory /drv, not
                     26: in /dev.
